s say about all sports in general. Violence occurs at all levels of athletics and mostly college and pros that are suppose to be setting the example. Who does this effect? It effects everyone from the leagues to the 6 year old watching a game on t.v. of his favorite player as he gets into a fight. Sports are intended to be fun and entertaining and with all the violence that occurs it is losing their appeal. The management of all the leagues, teams, and player have to take a look at who and what they want to represent and be represented by. The image is something the management have to control and if they don’t make more restrictions on the players and change the fact that a lot of players are seen as criminals then it will have a huge effect on the image of sports.And all the players that aren’t out there committing crimes and are doing the right thing they themselves need to get upset by the fact that others are giving their sport a bad name. So the players who care need to speak up and save their sports images before its too late. Kids out there already see enough violence in the streets and on t.v. Sports use to be a way to escape all of that and unless things change sports are going to be just like everything else....
