I can’t help but wonder when we are going to stop rewarding mediocrity.

For example, I guess I kind of sort of understand the world of marketing. That’s more my uncle’s field than my own. My uncle’s a man who spent his entire career pimping fast food, soft drinks and amusement parks, and rather successfully so. He could probably tell us what makes an athlete marketable having worked with so many in the past.

But I would swear the ones he worked with in his day were worth a damn. So many these days are not.
