NASCAR, bad PR, legal pot and more

Tone-deaf officials, secrecy make year's worst PR moves
Just one month into 2013 and it's already time to award the first round of Flubbies — recognizing the region's biggest public-relations flubs.

No Major League Soccer in Orlando? Blame the Miami Marlins
In many ways, sports teams and leagues are like children. You have the spoiled brats who are used to getting everything they want when they want it.
