Pacman Jones, last straw? Sure.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3197653
Reports out now that Pacman Jones, about to be finished with his year long suspension from the NFL for his previous incidents, has apparently flaunted his true colors again. He reportedly sucker punched a female lawyer in the hallway in yet another strip club.
Overlooking the part of the report that he was in yet another strip club, the same type of establishment that has ruined his life, and the report that he punched a female lawyer. I will even overlook my obvious question of why he was in a strip club negotiating his divorce case. Eventually you just have to come so the sad realization that if you are very athletic, you have it made. Doesn't matter what kind of person you are, how smart you are, or even how hard you work. If you can run a 4.4 40, or dunk a basketball and not fall down running back up the court, or stick a needle in your butt, swing a bat and call it a day then you have a decent chance of being wealthy and can retire early.
Even those who aren't able to make it in the NBA can still go overseas and make millions and tour the world. If you can't make it in the Major Leagues, you can play in an international league and make a very comfortable salary.
These athletes have no incentive to be a good citizen and teammate. You can have multiple arrests and more legal troubles than you can count on one hand and still be given a second chance by a professional league(see blog title). Normal people can go to college for 6-8 extra years beyond high school and struggle to make 60,000 a year while paying back college loans. Can you imagine having over 7 run-ins with the police before you were told to take a leave of absence for a year by your boss?
Maybe you should go outside and run a few 40 yard dashes in between paying for your college loans. Cue Gin Blossoms "Hey Jealousy."
