Interesting piece. Sad situation. This is the kind of b.s. that has the mass media coming up with silly nicknames for our national teams (Redeem Team?) and acting as if every Olympian is a hero for simply existing.

In the rest of the world, real heroes do a little more than swim or dunk a basketball. Or impose stupidass rules about when you can go to the bathroom. Steinbrenner. No wonder people in NYC figured out he was losing his mind.

Believing in God has nothing to do with telling a man when he can or can't take a leak. That is, unless you're one of the original Crusaders who went and tortured everyone between England and Jerusalem who didn't bow down to your cross.

Can you imagine some Japanese baseball stadium that would have a similar rule about the 7th-inning stretch? No. I can't. Only in America. Or Nazi Germany.
