Athletes need adequate security

Two bizarre incidents last week put security at major sports stadiums around the nation under the microscope. The incidents took place during Monday Night Football between the Eagles and Redskins and a meaningless contest featuring American League Central cellar-dwellers on Thursday night. The two horrific scenes illustrate that fans are too bored to behave like […]
