What is this Wide World Sports Coming too?

It seems like every day when I go on my email and look at my homepage I am reading another dirty sport story. A few months ago it was Great-Grandpa Favre being charged with an illegal block. Now it is that college soccer player that attacks her opponents. Since the turn of the century sports and the media have just gone down hill. First in 2000 there was the infamous Mike Piazza- Roger Clemens showdown. In 2003 there was Pedro Martinez throwing Yankees Bench Coach, Don Zimmer, you can read more about this incident in my article "Donny has the Last Laugh. Later there was the Michael Vick dog fighting incident followed by Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg. Another one the Tom Cable Saga (Cable's charges were acquitted). In 2009 around the July- August time frame there was the Kevin Youkilis brawls. He got hit about five times and charged the mound one to many times. Now it has lead up to this girl. People have said that she has tackled, punched ,and kicked her opponents. Her latest soccer field attack was during a friendly game between University of New Mexico and Brigham Young College. The attack was a ponytail pull. All soccer coaches out there - if you read the latest edition of soccer rule books, don't be surprised if you see a rule against ponytail pulling.
