imes are being let off way too easily. Even Ray Lewis says, "the NFL hit me with one of the biggest fines in sports history for a misdemeanor while the league's drug users, drunken drivers, and wife beaters never get hit half as hard." That quote defends my argument perfectly. When some people find out about illegal acts done by athletes, they may try to cover it up or act like it does not happen. This issue raises another question in my mind. Why won't the other teammates confront the drug user/wife beater/rapist? Also, if the NFL knows that some players are using illegal drugs, why don't they administer drug tests on a regular basis?In Any Given Sunday two players were shown doing drugs. Some of the other players had to know about it, and did not approve. The teammates doing the drugs were never caught in the duration of the movie, and it did not seem like a big deal at all. The movie made it seem that if you played football and were in the NFL, you could do whatever you wanted to. Is this movie really fictional? I think not.In conclusion, I am disgusted with athletes that get off easy for crimes they commit. Some athletes get slaps on the wrists or fines for crimes that I could be put in jail for. I am also appalled that the organizations that the athletes play for (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL) seem to pretend they do not know what is going on. The organizations should take an active stance against getting these tainted players off their teams. Why are athletes still getting off the hook for these heinous crimes? What can be done about it? The solution is simple. The coaches and organizations that these athletes play for should be under a rule of "2 strikes, and you're out!" There is no reason why some of these athletes should be allowed to compete in sports while having more than two arrests/accusations/crimes committed! Daryl Strawberry should have been banned from Major League Baseball back in 1993 if this rule was in ...
