Todays Sports Villains

We tend to think because if it is in the media that it is a new phenomenon. Major sport figures being charged with spousal or girlfriend abuse or drug usage. Don't get me wrong it should be reported and the players should be dealt with harshly, especially those charged with abuse. In my opinion that should be given a pink slip....bye bye, find a new job. With drugs they should be given an opportunity to rehabilitate themselves. My point is, this is not new, this not generational, this has been happening since the beginning. The only difference is todays athlete can't hide behind the protection of their team or the media, because they did't want players reputations ruined. So don't be naive. The bad ones have always been with us, now they are getting called out and punished for their stupidity. rg
