Yet another Sports Rant

So yesterday was this all-important day for NFL football where the playoffs were finally determined. First I’ll explain why this was good:

Drama in sports sells. It creates hatred and disappointment amongst the many fans and people are able to slip away from their recession-obsessed lives and think about something as meaningless as American football for an entire day.

The problem with all of this is the math involved. If Team A wins and Team C loses, then Team B will get a Wild Card – BUT if Team C ties and then Team B loses, then Team A will be granted the Wildcard…. See what I mean? This thing is ridiculously confusing and takes away from the game. There is absolutely no solution for any of this but it does re-enforce my hatred for math.
