While it is a business that we are talking here (and college sports in many cases is also just that!) these people are also, for some reason, considered role models and as such, and for what they get payed, they really should be forced to behave. That type of behavior should not and can not in any way be rewarded. I applaud any form of discplinary action taken against any of these players.


PS. and if the NBA is any indication of what we have to look forward to in terms of people to look up to I sure do feel sorry for a lot of fans, as Rabbit said... these people should never be refered to as "heroes," that term is really something for those that have a much more lasting contribution to society as a whole.
