I really understand that, but you have me pegged wrong. Yea i have a couple autographs, but who doesen't. I dont see these athletes as supernatural people. I se them as normal, and should be held accountable.
I know our society has dubbed theses people as superstars and will do whatever it takes to support them.
Back when i was in college, i wrote me senior thesis on how people are treated differently based on what they do in life(athletes, movie stars). Also had to deal with the spending of money on sports, entertainment, but thats a different story.
Yes i enjoy sports just as much as the next guy, but if these athletes do wrong, I will not sit back and give them free passes.
I actuallly think im overly harsh on athletes, just because of the major role they play in most societies. But thats just my $.02
