Of all the things that have sucked the joy out of sport few have been more deadly than the professional fan and his sidekick in obsessive-compulsivism the FANTASY-LEAGUE PHREAK, both abetted and ruled over by
the FRED FLINTSTONES of RADIO. These millionaire loudmouths expect perfection, and when they don't get it they go on self-righteous tears, as if batting averages and sacks really matter. They have not achieved anything until their names burst out in BIG BLACK HEDS:
[FILL IN THE BLANK] SUSPENDED FOR ATTACK ON [FILL IN THE BLANK]. Indeed the Freds are no different from
STERNO's heroes except they don't tell eenie-weenie-peenie jokes. Their constant badmouthing is at the heart of the mercenariness of sport and helps explain the big-biceped druggies. If this is the price one must pay to be a sports fan I'm not buying.
