I know what you're thinking, and you're right. There are probably lawyers and doctors and even journalists who are just as deplorable as Carruth. But the difference is, they aren't idolized by our children. They don't star in Gatorade commercials that implore us to be like them. Nobody is asking Santa for their jerseys this Christmas.
Athletes are different.
If any of us was naive about the element that is seeping into the NFL these days, we can't be anymore. Not after this trial. The problem has a face now. And it ain't a pretty one. But Carruth is taking it to a new level.
