Solving problems with sports balls

Now that we talked the Patriot football scandal to death, let us study other sports that use a ball.

Baseball is right around the corner. I think the sport should use a softer ball. Silly me, that’s called softball. Maybe the sport of softball should use a harder ball.

Maybe golf should use a softer ball so that when the golfer hits it into the woods, the life of some poor animal is saved.

What about the game of soccer? When the player hits it with his head, a softer ball might not rattle his brain so much.

How about volleyball? A softer ball would not hurt the players’ hands as much as a hard ball.

In the game of pool, softer balls would be a lot quieter when they hit each other.

In basketball, make the ball with one soft side and the other hard. Everybody would be happy.

Maybe people will stop seeing a scandal in everything mankind does.
