Athletes Lifes - Drugs And Violence
Heroes with Double Lives Some Athletes in society today are considered heroes despite their double lives. Their drug use and violence are brushed aside while leading their teams to victory Who is your hero? ... While some celebrities and athletes can justifiably be labeled heroes, there are some people who may appear to be heroic, but lead a completely different life off the field. ... They were snorting cocaine and other illegal drugs while they appeared to be entertained by prostitutes. ... There are several athletes who have been arrested and convicted of crimes, however three men have been the center of attention for the past few years. ... The point I am trying to make in this paper is that athletes who commit these crimes are being let off way too easily. ... When some people find out about illegal acts done by athletes, they may try to cover it up or act like it does not happen. ... Also, if the NFL knows that some players are using illegal drugs, why dont they administer drug tests on a regular basis? In Any Given Sunday two players were shown doing drugs. ... The teammates doing the drugs were never caught in the duration of the movie, and it did not seem like a big deal at all. ... In conclusion, I am disgusted with athletes that get off easy for crimes they commit. Some athletes get slaps on the wrists or fines for crimes that I could be put in jail for. I am also appalled that the organizations that the athletes play for (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL…) seem to pretend they do not know what is going on. ... Why are athletes still getting off the hook for these heinous crimes? ... The coaches and organizations that these athletes play for should be under a rule of 2 strikes, and youre out! There is no reason why some of these athletes should be allowed to compete in sports while having more than two arrests/accusations/crimes committed!
