So.. whats next?

I'm sure you've been reading this blog now saying, okay this all makes sense- but why this person vendetta against athletes. Yes- I'm no pro-athlete, nor do I have any great specific athletic skill. I cant throw a fastball, cant tackle an offensive lineman, cant slam dunk, or even hit a slapshot.

Let me just say- I am a HUGE fan of sports. There is nothing more satisfying to me than to spend a day at a sports game with good friends, wear a jersey, and cheer for my team. I dont get excited when i see a celebrity, but get a pro near me and let the twilight-fanatic in me loose.

So where did this hatred for some of these guys come from. I guess it comes from the fact that as a child, my heroes were sports stars. They could do no wrong and were the people who were perfection in the spotlight. People like Tim Salmon, an all around great guy. But then as I grew up i became aware of the fact that some of these guys are NOT heroes.



Michael Vick, in my opinion, should never EVER be able to put on a jersey and play. After making millions and making dumb decisions- you don't deserve to be excused.

Now, I'm sure the question you're asking is- WHAT do we do?

Heres What I want-
I want a moral and ethical clause attached to a players contract- that will be formed and presented in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
This clause will present players with a strict outline of acceptable behavior as well as outline base punishments that can ONLY be expanded upon, not lessened.
This would not allow for athletes to "beg for mercy" from commissioners and be allowed back in.

Sow what do we do to get that done you ask?!
Well, I've given you the addresses of two of the four commissioners, Roger Goodell of the NFL and Bud Selig of the MLB, in my next few posts well hit up the other two, the NBA and the NHL.
