I must say that this is a very interesting article. It is vey obvious that Mr. Honan is
a true fan, why else would he go to great lenghts to dream up something like this. This is
a stigma that current and former athletes constantley are faced with time after time. But
it is the same fans (and I do mean fans)that cheer for these athletes every weekend. Why
else would they care about the personal lives of athletes.

...if you let Johnny go out and play with the other children while it is wet and muddy
outside, wouldn't Johnny eventually get wet and muddy himself? Teaching courses to just
athletes doesn't do much good. They are influenced by their surroundings and peers in
particularly. Teach it to the entire college or university. This way the entire
surrounding or peers are also affected. Make some of these courses mandatory to graduate
from a college or university, particularly the etiquette courses!

Lisa hits the nail on the head when it comes to the wrong athletes always making the headlines. Her article is hilarious and sad at the same time. When will our money-hungry institutions of higher learning ever learn that they must accept some responsibility for these athletes' behaviors?
