Abstract
An alarming number of professional athletes are joining the ranks of America's dissidents and depraved populations. Criminals are now wearing the colors of the Dallas Cowboys instead of the blue dungarees of prisoners. So far this year over 134 athletes within franchise operated sports institutions have been reported for criminal activity (Farrey, 1). This means that if you were to average the number of reports that every two days an athlete breaks the law. Perhaps more disturbing is the fact that the majority of these athletes goes unpunished and in many cases aren't prosecuted. This has created a new image for professional athletes, instead of the respected role model of yesteryear we think of a steroid enhanced, boozing, womanizing, drug user. This obviously has had consequences in our society and within sports institutions, mostly negative. Yet rather than respond to this reflection the decadent morals of our society, we further the downward spiral by adjusting to this new breed of athlete.
