Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Seven-year old: Forget the NFL...

So this morning I'm at the Starbucks in Tenley. There's a seven-year-old there with his dad.

The two are looking at the WP sports page. The dad is clearly reading about the NFL playoffs, the Wiz, etc. The kid is talking about the Caps, while his dad is talking about football. Finally the kid says: "Dad, I don't care about the Ravens. What does the paper say about Alex Ovechkin?"

I tried for years to get my daughters interested in baseball. No chance. They live only for the Caps. They even text my wife and I w/ score updates if we are out on a game night! I got hooked on hockey late 90s when I was looking for daddy/ daughter activities w/ my then 6 year old. Only local team worth watching was the Caps. We’ve been avid fans ever since.
