It’s Wednesday, and it has already been a hard week. On Monday, people’s 401(k) took a hit with the stock market plunge. Today, there was the brutal on-air murder of a reporter and her cameraman. People go to sports to get away from things like this. 

If the sports media doesn’t get it, take their suggestion and don’t follow them. Don’t read them. They don’t want your opinions or your feedback. They don’t respect you. Don’t read them. 

I’m not wasting my energy with people like that today. Today’s not a day for scoring points. Today’s not the day to be the smart or funny person in the room. You’re angry and want a debate then go ahead, have it. However, if you really want to show everyone how smart and/or angry you are, do it in more than 140 characters. If Fox Sports doesn’t publish it, it’s probably because you’re a sports writer on a sports site. 

You want to have the debate?  Have it with your congressman or Senator. I say that for both sides of the gun control debate. You accomplish nothing by spouting off on Twitter other than trying to get people to tell you that you’re right. Instead of trying to get people to tell you how right you are, pray for the families. 

That’s what I’m going to do. I’m also going to keep my opinions to myself because this is a sports site. You come here for sports, specifically the Mets. You’re not here for political theatre, and I’m not going to set the stage. 

So enjoy tonight’s game. Take a couple of hours to get away from everything. It’ll be there after the game.
