Cover kids, not pros
Tell me I’m wrong. Tell me that your Jan. 11 issue was an anomaly-that you really do cover the many sports at U of T and elsewhere. Who cares about overpaid professional athletes? Actually, I feel sorry for them in their having lost meaning and values because the idiot public throws money at them.
The skill level of university athletes is high and growing increasingly more entertaining. For example, women are playing hockey at an earlier age, and men who have played OHL hockey are now so good that OHL teams won’t play university squads since the semi-pros are bettered by amateurs.
I’m an old guy who visits the campus regularly, and I am looking forward to the new stadium. But why is Varsity baseball not played nearby, say at Christie Pits?
