Default sports coverage in the Daily Sun

When I first came to the Villages,I picked up a copy of the Daily Sun and looked at the sports page.At first glance I see the headline-Coverage of the Yankees,Dodgers,Red Sox ,Braves.I said to myself sounds like a good sports section.Upon further reading I discover the coverage is of the local softball teams not the major league teams.I thought to myself,now I know the players on these teams enjoy the detailed coverage,their families enjoy reading about them and their friends probably do too.Sometimes the accounts of all these game stretches into two or three pages.I skip over all this because I could care less.I read the national sports and the rest of the paper.My question is what do other Villagers think of all this?I do read about the local high school sports teams and support them so please don't get the idea I'm anti-local sports news.If you are a participant of one of these softball teams,a friend,or relative don't bother responding.I know you like the coverage and that is understandable.But to me,overkill describes it.A line score and standings is all that's needed.Thoughts please.
