For a sport that pretends to dislike taunting, the NFL sure is running up the score.
The NFL long ago won the war for American hearts and minds. Now the league is high-stepping backward into the end zone while doing the Chicken Dance.
Any decent human can find a dozen reasons to dislike the National Football League. Violence. Concussion denial. Treatment of former players. Treatment of current players. Greed. Arrogance. Roger. Goodell.
If the subject is sports entertainment, though, the NFL is Secretariat and every other sport is a Grand Canyon donkey.
Thursday night, I went to Target Field and saw Byron Buxton hit two homers and a double and run the bases like they were 12 feet apart.
