Black Sunday
there were two sports travesties that occurred on Sunday, and I’m still torn as to which is worse. There was the awful fumble call in the Broncos vs. Chargers football game in which the Chargers were handed a loss by the officials because they blew the whistle for no reason. Even if they thought it was an actual pass, the ball went backwards, which would mean it was a lateral. So in no way should the whistle have been blown. The other travesty, which probably isnt AS bad was the Houston Astros being forced to play the Cubs in Milwaukee, essentially giving the Cubs a home game. There are 16 major league baseball parks not being used on any given day (half the teams), so why were they forced to play in Milwaukee of all places? Sometimes decisions like both of these lead me to think that sports may be rigged because they are inexcusable and make zero sense to me. The Astros at least still could have played well and won the game, that is their fault, but they were definitely were given more difficult circumstances than they should have had to deal with (although the way Big Z was pitching, it might not have really mattered). The Chargers loss is inexcusable. Replay is to get the play correct, and they didn’t. It was obvious that the Chargers regained the ball, so they should have just gotten it right, I don’t care about the rules.
