Featured review
Much of this VHS looks back at three major segments regarding sports in the 1970s: boxing, auto racing and the rest all lumped together.
First of all, the tape runs like an A&E biography of Muhammad Ali, whom ABC, along with most of the media, idolizes. They give him more coverage than any athlete of the decade. He is the all-time sports idol of all Liberals, ever since he changed his name and refused to go in the military.
They also love auto racing crashes and they love ice skater Dorothy Hamill, who probably gets the second-most individual coverage in this VHS
Overall, because of the obvious bias here, this was very disappointing. Unfortunately, this what the sports media has become, even more so with ESPN the past decade. It used to be just the news department, but now the sports is worse, and, yes, it's 99 percent tilted to the left
