Just saying Big Loser that athletics at any major college program and every pro-football team has had multiple incidents of player impropriety. There is no correlation between criminal behavior and nfl franchise (Bengals in the past, but that was probably an aberration). The problem is and has always been the entitlements that the elite athletes receive throughout their lifetime. They can skip classes starting in high school. When they get in trouble, the Police cut them breaks due to their status, etc.. When they finally arrive in the nfl, they get a huge paycheck and think they are above the law. That's why you see all the crimes being committed by nfl players at a higher rate than the general population. This happens in other sports as well, but football is generally the biggest sport in most regions of the country and the football players receive the highest publicity starting in high school; therefore, they receive more breaks from people of authority. The authority figures should be holding these student athletes accountable in the same fashion as everyone else (thus the feeling of entitlement begins).
Now, Big Loser, break out your dictionary to look up some of the words with more than two syllables and talk to the eight other students in your Oklahoma high school graduating class for help if necessary.
