Not to sound like a cranky old man, but here's a high-gloss version of what's wrong with sports today.
Sure, it's just a Nike ad, but somewhere there's a rage-aholic Little League dad watching it and getting a bit too revved up. Or a high school football player trying to resist the urge to take steroids, who'll see this and give it a another thought. Or a little kid who will think it's OK to be a trash-talker because, well, LT of the San Diego Chargers is doing it right there on my TV.
It's a shame, I think, that Nike has to resort to that to keep up with the UnderArmors of the world.
Sermonizing, over and out.
