NHK`s Lead Story!?

Matsui got injured the other day. He broke his wrist while trying to make a diving catch. He had surgery and will probably be out for about 3 months. Also, his consecutive game streak also ended. I like Matsui. I think he is a true professional and excellent ball-player. It`s s shame that this happened, but I think he`ll come back and be even better than before(=He will hit more Home-Runs)! However, I understand that this is big news in Japan, but the TOP NEWS, LEAD STORY, OF NHK???!!!! I think that much attention is a little much! I can`t believe that this was the MOST IMPORTANT NEWS STORY. Yes, it should be the top SPORTS news story, but "THE" top story of all the news...Unbelievable!
