i think it's disgraceful, the way some sports team members behave and the way they are allowed to get a way with it. so what they never signed up to be roll-models? so what the games can get them feeling excited or passionate? they should behave like decent human beings, not animals. they should be prepared to pay for their transgessions without any namby-pamby whining either. your break it, you buy it, so to speak. you do the crime, you do the time. another aspect of the whole sports-player as "hero" <*scoff*> that really pisses me off is how they are allowed to keep playing or finish out a season before being sentenced because they are indispensable to their team. and a guy who makes millions of dollars a year being fined a couple thou 'cause he couldn't keep his temper in check...gimme a break! how can that even begin to teach them any kind of lesson about their behavior. they get benched for a couple games? SO WHAT! they prolly smile while writing the check thinking if all it cost them to bash someones teeth in was 2 grand next time they're goin' for the kill...i mean, hey, they can afford it. and don't even get me started on the way these guys treat their wives.
