if the summertime

[shenyuqing113]

Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the
world of sports. This week, they discuss the NFL and marijuana, Canadian
world champion boxer Bermane Stiverne, Steve Kerrs choice for head coach and
FIFA backtracking on Qatar 2022. Dave Naylor, TSN Radio 1050: My thumb is up
to the National Football League which - according to reports this week - is
planning to soften its penalties for players who test positive for
marijuana. Look, even if youre part of the minority which still believes pot
should be illegal, its not hard to see the hypocrisy here. The NFL is a
down-and-dirty league, where all kinds of nasty stuff happens and players
are often welcomed back to the field despite risky and dangerous behavior.
And yet, as of now, Clevelands Josh Gordon will miss this coming season
because he did something that is legal in two states and which many believe
is a safer way to manage the pain associated with pro football than popping
pills. What would the NFL be like if the league stopped testing for weed
altogether? Well, we have a pretty good idea because in Canada the CFL does
not list marijuana as a banned substance. And frankly, no one cares. The NFL
has followed the CFLs lead when it comes to the forward pass, two-point
converts and a few other things …  its time to follow its lead on pot as
well. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is up Bermane Stiverne, and if you
dont know the name, youre not alone. A week ago, Stiverne, the Haitian-born
Montreal-raised boxer, won the WBC heavyweight championship. Once upon a
time, that was a title that began with Sonny Liston and moved through
Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes and George Foreman and Mike
Tyson and another Canadian of other countries, Lennox Lewis. It was the
title of all titles not just in boxing, but in all of sport: heavyweight
champion of the world. Somewhere in time that disappeared, just not the
history; now its Stivernes time, after his sixth round stoppage of Chris
Arreola in Los Angeles. He might be like Trevor Berbick, a one and done
champion. But after all these years, we still remember Berbicks name.
Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is up to Steve Kerr for a wise
choice. Offered coaching positions with the Knicks and Warriors, the
broadcaster took door no. 2, Golden State. The job might not be all rainbows
and lollipops because Warrior players are angry former coach Mark Jackson
was fired, but it is a better option than Madison Square Garden, the worlds
most famous asylum. Kerr wont have to answer to bullying owner James Dolan
or face inevitable second-guessing from Knicks president Phil Jackson, a
fair coach himself. Golden state provides Kerr with a more talented roster
and a better family situation, but mostly if offers a truly precious
commodity - sanity. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb is down to soccers world
governing body, FIFA for managing to sound dumber than its president, Sepp
Blatter. Blatter has finally admitted that the selection of Qatar as the
site of the 2022 World Cup was a mistake, which, until now, has been obvious
to all but FIFA, because if the summertime heat makes it dangerous to watch
a soccer match, its probably not a good idea to play in one. But, said
Blatter, people do make mistakes. Well, an embarrassed FIFA spokesman tried
to distance the organization from Blatters remarks by claiming that Blatter
never actually said that Qatar was the wrong choice, which means that
Blatter meant...... FIFA made the right choice and it was a mistake. They
cant even stand this heat.
