In participating & covering sports for more than 4 decades, I have seen so many changes in the talent level of the athletes, coaching styles and the decline of officiating!!!
In football, it is about the safety of the players, the rules are changed to protect them and thus far the game is played at it's highest level from the NFL, College and High School!!! Referees abide by these rule changes and use their knowledge and common sense to implement them!!!
Basketball, on the other hand has changed, the talents of players have surpassed the rules and the officials ability to make calls per rules

CHEAP SHOTS, No Place in Sports is this acceptable!!!
CHEAP SHOTS in Sports or any walk of life are NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!
In Sports in the past few years, actions on the field, court, etc., has given Professional Sports a BLACK EYE for the Sport and soured it for both the avid sports fans and for the occasional sports fan!!!
If you cannot win a game, series, championship without playing fair or CHEAP SHOTS, you don't need to be playing at all and should be banned from the Sport!!! Actually you should just quite on your own!!!
If you are the Professional you say you are in a Respectable Professional League, you wouldn't have to lower yourself to these unacceptable actions!!!
Every game is on TV and/or on the Net!!! Social Media has accelerated the opportunities of seeing this almost instantly!!! Whether you realize it or not, you are a role model to someone and yes you influence them and their actions!!! Is that what you want to play unfair, to inflict CHEAP SHOTS so that the ones that idolize you do the same thing??? I don't think so!!!
I normally don't point fingers, however, you have to look at the Coaches and/or Players that are involved in these unacceptable actions, where are the league officials where are the game officials and where are the coaches that have integrity, don't they even care or are they just there to put on a show!!! I realize it is Professional Show Biz, it is a Sport and Entertainment that people love, so there should not be any place for this in any Sport or at any level!!!
*Please Note, I don't have to mention any leagues and/or names because it is just a few that show these unacceptable actions, yet they get 95% of the press!!! Those that always do the right thing within the rules and respect their profession and others, they only get 5% of the press!!! This is just another reason why we do what we do everyday with our stories and production, we morally driven to contribute inspiring stories and special features and you can see this at our website www.midwestsportsweekly.com
God bless!!!
