You can't go more than 3 weeks with out hearing about a professional athlete embarrassing themselves with an illegal or immoral action. That's actually how I came up with this topic, I was battling to find a topic that wasn't about C. Anthony acting like a jerk and trying to leave Denver, so I decided to go onto ESPN.com, and what is the first thing I see "Hansworth charged with assault". And the saddest part is I'm really not surprised or shocked. It has almost become expected that these athletes will do something stupid, it almost that when someone is not arrested in a year we think of them as a good "role mode". Honestly I sit around and cannot think of a single NFL, NBA or MLB player that I would want my child (unborn) to act like. Even the ever lovable Bret Favre was charged for sending pictures of, well let just say very inappropriate areas, to an attractive reporter when he was with the Jets.
The NFL cant come up with a way to have a new 2011 season because there is 9 Billion dollars that they cant figure out what to do with it. Heres an idea: spend it on some etiquette classes!! Some work shops that teach players how everyday citizens should act within society. Heres another idea.. What about using that 9 billion dollars (which they obviously dont need, because when they do have it they spend it on party boat to do illegal things) to pay for the college tuition of students. You could probably pay for most of the tuition for nearly every college student. This would allow those who are unable to pay for school to be able to get an education that they otherwise would not be able to get.
