Sound Pollution, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Maybe it was a bad Pepsi, maybe the pounding the Bucks put on the Magic, or maybe it was the decibel levels of noise that once again assaulted my very being.

Hasim Rahman is the new heavyweight champion of the boxing world, or at least that part of the boxing world governed by the IBF and WBC, whoever or whatever they may be. The only relevant questions here are: what does this mean for Don King? Who is Hasim Rahman? And where is Mike Tyson?

In a world in which the Disney Corporation makes a calculated decision not to honor Super Bowl MVP Ray Lewis with a trip to Disney World only to have Mark Chumura announce that he is going to Disney World to celebrate his escape of prison time for his hot tub romp with high school girls on prom night, one is left to ponder what the XFL will need to do to reach a public satiated with sleaze.

One can only wonder if we will see the designation "Super Bowl L" or "Super Bowl C" or if they will be considered too timid in Logo Land. But I digress.
