From the "athletes behaving badly" department (in the past month, anyway):
• NHL bad boy (Sean Avery) was suspended for six games for a crude remark.
• Six NFL players were suspended for allegedly violating the league's drug policy.
• Another NFL player (Adam "Pacman"
Jones) returned to his team's roster after being suspended, again, for
an off-field altercation.
• Oh, and NFL receiver (Plaxico Burress) accidentally shot himself in a nightclub with a gun he was not licensed to carry.
Despite the 24/7 media coverage of each
of these incidents, sports fans have become accustomed to and somewhat
complacent with hearing about athletes and their deviant acts.
In fact, new statistics reveal that bad
behavior is clearly evident among high school athletes, particularly in
high-contact sports.
