Yes, but in sports, there are usually quite a few "good news stories" for most sports. A lot of what a show like REAL Sports does is reveal some of the darker side of a lot of sports.....which I like quite a bit. But they also include some good "heartwarming" type stories for most of the other sports.
"Hines Ward returns to Korea and is a great guy" type stuff.
I have no problem with them emphasizing all the problems that currently exist in the sport, but what about also including some profiles of all the truly good people that are involved in the sport? That only seems fair.
How about in their next installment a story like....."Will Steve Byk single-handily return horseracing to the prominence it enjoyed in the 1940s?"
