[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634661, member: 1550"] I don't think it's the sports. Sports has been great for my daughter and most athletes are not thugs. Many of these young men grew up in dangerous neighborhood, rife with gangs and drugs and crime. With poverty comes violence. I am not excusing it, but suddenly they are rich superstars and are held to standards, which they should be considering they are in the limelight around kids. Where many came from, they were probably not judged. I am a person who doesn't think anything excuses violence. It may give me insight into it, but not all people living in poverty are violent. There is no excuse for it. I think the more "he is worshipped" athlete is the one from the middle and upper middle class. In our home town, a few star wrestlers tortured and abused another wrestler who is deaf. Some top colleges still recruited them!!!! They were rewarded! And they went to some top colleges, although their grades did not warrant it either. The judge let them all off with simply probation, even though there was extreme sexual assault. [/QUOTE]
