These athletes caused fights, participated in illegal activities, in many cases, much more severe allegations than these two article headlines.

And if a child chooses to pursue a career in athletics, they need an academic background to fall back on just in case they don't quite make it. I point out these individuals because they did crimes that are relatively commonplace in our country.
