News?

Right now, 2:18 P.M. EST, I think everyone has something wrong with their priorities. All of the major news outlets are covering the Alex Rodriguez's drug scandal. Is this really newsworthy? Let ESPN and YES cover stuff like this. . . Today the President is supposed to sign the most costly bill in American history and the dow is currently diving a 10 year low. . . I feel like we have more important things to deal with.

Please someone enlighten me as to why this is so important. Don't get me wrong, I love sports, but I know where to go to follow and get updates on the teams and news that I am interested in. However, I feel that this is not the time or place to be discussing this.
