Oregon Football Program

Ok so I've now joined the blogging community. The purpose of my blogs are going to be getting my opinion out there. Issues in sports could be a very common topic of mine. With that said what better way to start off a blog than by talking about the problems going on with a hated rival football team known as the Oregon Ducks. I wish I could say I'm surprised or appalled by all the criminal acts or other uncalled for acts that have occurred lately. The truth is I bet nobody in Oregon cares one bit it's not like this hasn't previously happened. A few years ago the professional basketball was referred to as the Portland Jailblazers for all the issues those players had. I believe too much blame is being put on the head coach, granted some the coach should shoulder a good portion of it but when are the fans going to be the one's that are blamed? It is clear that they do not feel this is a major issue especially if the teams are reaching bowl games or playoffs. The fans do not question the judgement of character of the athletes and by doing so they are setting the social tone as to what is acceptable and what is not. Representing your school and wearing their jersey's should be an honor and a privilege and the athletes are treating it with no respect because their fellow students or alumni could care less about the players actions off the field as long as they play well on Saturday. The first step is to either have the coach punish or dismiss the player and follow through with it for everyone or fire the head coach and bring in someone with the guts to clean up your team. The rest falls on the fans on whether or not they will continue to accept these kinds of athletes or if they will finally say enough is enough this needs to change

With that said go dawgs,
