UPS v. Sport

Different goals (no pun intended), but the same methods.

Cheat

More furore this weekend re bad refereeing, but If Ashley Young dived again, why did so many players appeal. If the Chelsea 'goal' wasn't over the line, why did Mata run away like he'd scored the winning goal in the world cup final. the Hearts players appealed for the penalty that Lennon said was biased. The refs, I'm sure, give what they see. The players cheat.

In sport it's win at all costs. Football clubs are starting to bite the dust, Bradford Bulls, Rugby League, are struggling. Only 4 of the Premiership in Rugby Union are making a profit and several County Cricket Clubs are also feeling the pinch. There is so much money for the players that they cheat to win, cheat to gain points

With UPS it's slightly different, they cheat to make money. Profits above breaking the law, they are that desperate to line their pockets.

While we're on Sport, the Grand National. Why are horses put down just for breaking a leg? Surely they would still have a stud value. Should Fabrice Muamba have been put down for having a heart attack?

The horses continue on the circuit without their riders so they can't be said to be forced to jump.
A picture had the following caption;


& still on sport, went to the Leeds Motor Show for the 2nd time in a month. Hang on I hear you say, twice? aren't Motor Shows annual? and does Leeds have them? There are about 20 a year if you walk through the players car park at Elland Road. Mercs, Jags, Porches with double glazing.......pity the football wasn't as good as the cars.
Fatal fall: AP McCoy and Synchronised fall after the sixth fence. The horse had to be put down on the course

The fall wasn't fatal
  • The horse was put down
  • The horse carried on for another 5 fences, If I remember the vet's statement correctly
It's sport, accidents & injuries will happen.
