I know this is a blog about sport, but there was an event in the news yesterday which really hit home to me how irrelevant the world of sport can be, compared with other things that go on.
What I am talking about is of course the murdered police officer in Luton. What is this country coming to. It wasn't even half past seven on Tuesday morning. He hadn't even been on shift for 30 minutes, and yet PC Jon Henry was fatally stabbed. He leaves behind his wife and a young baby daughter, who had just learnt to walk. His little girl will grow up without a father, and all because he responded to a 999 call and was willing to help some other members of the public who were being threatened. This is totally unacceptable behaviour from the person who did this. A man was arrested and appeared in court today, and will return on 26th June.
I just do not understand why some people feel the need to harm others. It just isn't the right way to live.
