As long as you can perform well, nothing else matters. As long as your athletic ability is above par, all else will be forgiven, forgot, and ignored. Because in the end it’s all about the money. The money you can earn personally and the money you can potentially earn for the organization that hires you.
If you produce the results, nothing else matters.
Or does it?
It seems that we constantly ‘turn the other cheek’ whenever a high-profile, successful professional athlete breaks the law and performs acts of misconduct – basically acts as if the laws of our government and the rules/regulations of the game they play do not apply to them.
As in the case with Larry Johnson.
It’s taken how long, and how many infractions for someone to dig their head out of the ‘pay dirt’ and set his actions straight.
It’s about time. Chiefs release RB Larry Johnson – Yahoo! News
And you wonder why we have such unlawfulness with our youth? You wonder why our teenagers have no disregard for the law – and have no idea how to play by the rules.
Why should they? Their icons, heroes, and superstars never have to?
Just sayin’.
