Sports and the Law
You don't have to look far to see what these have in common, which they shouldn't be. In the newspapers, TV shows and on the interent you see weekly or sometimes daily that pro althtes get in trouble with the law enough is enough. I understand that everyone makes mistakes that over time most people might have a run-in with the law like a speeding ticket. The ones that really bother me are the ones that have had multiple run-ins like Pacman Jones and Chris Henry. Pacman has been arrested or questioned 14 times since joining the league and was suspend the entire 2007 season by Roger Goodell, which I think is what he deseves for his actions that he commented. Pacman defence is that he had never be covicted on any of the charges that he faced. Yea there right, but still that is 14 to many run-ins be aloud to play in the NFL which is a previlege not a right. In my thinking after two issuses I would start to change the group of people I hang out with to prevent these issues in the future. It's not just pro sports but also college sports as well. I saw on SportsCenter that the backup QB at UNH was suspend indef because he was question on a murder case where he was there when a group he was with beat up this surfer that died a few days later. In the end what are they thinking if you have to think weather it is a good idea or not then you should not do what ever it is which would not cause all the run-ins.
