Ok, I doubt I am the only one who's seeing this. But, this year has really driven it home. The people in charge of all things sport have had a very bad year. I have to wonder. Are they idiots, corrupt or a combination of the two?

Top stories that immediately come to mind of idiotic sport's management decisions in 2015 and early 16:

1. Brazil swimming venues are proven to be hazardous to the athlete's health
2. Scheduling NCAA football playoffs on New Years Eve and losing 40% viewership
3. ESPN shutting down Grantland and letting go their controversial, but very popular talent
4. Giants--from the disgraceful treatment of Coughlin to that idiot GM saying "You have to play the hand you're dealt," when discussing JPP.
5. Bucaneers firing Lovie Smith after he won more games this year than last and kept Jamies Winston on the straight and narrow
6. Jerry Jones---the list of stupid **** he did last year is probably too long to list--but I'll just say: Greg Hardy.
7. Concussions. Has anyone ever seen a worse case of handling PR for such a huge issue than the NFL fumble on that issue?
8. Three NFL teams not only making it public but also filing paperwork to leave their city, knowing only one will get the nod to move to LA and it'll probably be the Rams.
9. Philadelphia 76ers: Multiple tanking seasons leading to a team that might not even win 10 games this year.
10. Roger Godell: Deflategate. Whatever happened to that?
 
The Peter principle in all of its glory? ;)
