But the subsequent story was about a missing Northwestern University student and the third one was about a sad drive-by shooting. There has been a lot of violence in Chicago this year. I just don't think the referee's call was as important as those other two stories.
I agree. Sports takes too much precedence over other things that are more important sometimes. Penn State Football gets way more attention than I think it deserves.
