Sports Cast

Cancelling our football season Appears tantamount to treason If players can't play They still need their pay Which, of course, is beyond reason!

Hello Rico ... the amount of money offered in sport appears insane, but we shouldn't forget professional sports are now entertainment industries employing thousands - good limerick Rico - Lindsay

It’s a shame that the fans are not able to wash their sports, and you’re right there pay is outrageous. Good one, Rico. Blessings

I don't have much pity for the pro teams - they make millions, after all! - but at least the colleges have been saying they will honor the scholarships for the student players this year, so that is some good news at least-

I'm really going to miss football this year. Don't know how the college teams could play, but schools will reopen in Florida this month. I hope the pro players have put aside some money from previous years, but maybe they will still be paid this year?? Saw the Miami Hurricanes play over Thanksgiving last year. Just look at how things have changed. Great limerick, my friend! Hugs, Carolyn

Quite different in Japan where a Sumo wrestler got the boot for breaking quarantine to join friends in a restaurant thus putting the Tournament and other wrestlers at an unwarranted risk. Several American teams have already lost their season by such conduct. Aloha! Rico
