It's easy to believe the world we live in, especially from a sports perspective, really sucks. And I would certainly agree. We all know about the brutal attack on the Giants' fan. We all know the death threats that Scott Cousins has received after his collision at home with Buster Posey. We know the fall out from both incidents.
