Dear God, We're Losing It All...

No, not a personal statement, but this is just a small summary of headlines from the sports world in the last 3-4 days:

• Baltimore riots, causing two home games to be postponed, a game played today in an empty stadium (and I do not know if that's ever happened at the top level of any major professional sport in North America), and the weekend series with Tampa Bay moved to Tampa.
• Jon Jones is charged with felony hit and run, forcing the UFC to finally strip him of the light-heavyweight title and replace him on the next PPV.  When is someone -- ANYONE -- going to finally take a look at mixed martial arts?  Not as a function of "human cock-fighting", but as a function of what kind of "human" (and that's debatable) is fighting within the Octagon.
• Kevin Love's intentional injury has now cost him the rest of the playoffs.  The Boston player who decided to take his arm with him has seriously altered the course of the Eastern Conference playoffs in so doing.
• The Houston Rockets had a problem last night on Twitter, as their account had this put on it by it's staff, according to Deadspin (for which, the person in charge for social media for the team has been fired!):

• Two more domestic-violence situations to report on:  First, Brittney Griner and her fiancee were both arrested for domestic violence against each other in a fight. Griner has pled to a diversion agreement -- no word on if the WNBA will discipline the Phoenix Mercury star.
• Second, Alabama adds another one to the list: Cyrus Jones has become the third member of the Crimson Tide to be arrested for domestic violence since the regular season ended.
• Just popping up on the page of the NFL on the night before the NFL Draft:

1. Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, Oklahoma) with a checkered past.  When ESPN has to ask the question whether he can be trusted, it usually ends up with one answer. (No.)
2. Dion Jordan is about to bust himself out of the league.  Suspended for drugs for all of 2015, and the Dolphins are done with him.
3. Something with huge implications the NFL decided to run under the radar:  The NFL has officially relinquished it's tax-exempt status.  Biggest question, now, is WHY???  To avoid telling us how much Goodell makes?  Possibilities of a refund?  Other chicanery??
4. Joseph Randle gets out of (felony) trouble for his incident February 3.
5. The ESPN Jameis Winston Rehab Tour continues:  A Tampa Bay linebacker thinks the veterans on the team can control him.  Unless they can beat the ever-loving shit out of him, good luck.
6.  La'El Collins (OL, LSU) is now being looked at for questioning in a shooting murder.  Wonderful, and it doesn't even take him being in the league.
7. Shane Ray (LB, Missouri) - pot possession, in the Phase 1 NFL rehab program.  Ditto.
8. Jalen Collins (CB, LSU) -- MULTIPLE failed drug tests while at LSU.

•  A prominent blogger was fired from a major blog-roundup for firing off a missive on the departure of Josh Hamilton to Texas.  Questioning his ability to stay clean is one thing.  Almost sounding like you wish the guy dead (Deadspin, according to my anonymous friend, actually called it fan-fiction of the death of Josh Hamilton) is another.
• Freddie Roach, just three days before The Fight, still believes Woman Beater will walk out of his fight with Homophobic Tax Cheat.

I mean, how much more do you want before one has to ask one real question:

To be a "good sports fan" in our society, do you need to be a psychopath, ignorant of all semblance of reality?
