For all of those concerned or interested, here is something to ponder or, hopefully, for you to levy your thoughts or opinions on:
Generally, I have noticed in the mainstream sports media that when an athlete (usually from either NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA or Track & Field) comes under scrutiny for either:
Drug use (any kind of drug)
Domestic/ spouse/family abuse
Having multiple, illegitimate children with multiple partners
Other similar, antisocial acts, or what have you...
Their agents, league officials, pastors, reverends, mothers, friends, especially the MEDIA, etc., always speak in terms that state that "Well, athlete X made a POOR CHOICE/DECISION."
If you or I commit the same act, it is called a CRIME.
Please do speak on this. I am very curious to know if others notice this same sort of 'selective malfeasance'.
Best,
Mike
