QB's suspension
The six-game suspension of Cleveland Browns QB for sexual assault is an example of what is wrong with our society values toward women. Mr. Watson has had over 20 accusations of sexual assault of women. He has made at least 12 settlements. He should never be allowed to play professionally again, but because he's a professional athlete and makes millions of dollars he is allowed to keep playing.

I am a sports fan and am amazed at anyone who has the talent to play any professional sport, but this shouldn't give them the right to continue to break the law.

Baseball advice
Sometimes baseball forgets about the basics and over complicates something as simple as hitting a ball. Case in point is Paul Dejong; analytics messed up his swing so much he had to go to Memphis for two months to learn how to hit again. I'm reminded of the line from "Bull Durham": "Ya see the ball, ya hit the ball." Too bad Crash Davis wasn't around to help him earlier.
