Professional Athletes and Crime

[pcmodem]

The list goes on and on...

Latrell Spewell
Chris Webber
Vince Coleman
Nate Newton
Darryl Strawberry
Darrell Russell

To name a few. Now... someone I least expected... Kirby Puckett:
The Puck Man Accused

Damn. I really liked the Puck Man. Am disappointed. I'd say innocent 'til proven guilty, but the article sounds pretty convincing.

OJ

2/3rd's of the Iowa Men's Basketball team. Not professional per se, but they should still exhibit some shred of professionalism. Which they don't.

Shame on you, Kirby.:frown:


Don't forget the Dallas Cowboys - if there's ever a pro team associated with crime, it's them.

Runner up - Minnesota Vikings.

Oh, and most recently, Iverson. Also, he was never "professional", and some would question the athlete part, but I think Mike Tyson has an honerable mention.

 

[GoingUp]

Kirby can barely see, how can he assault someone?

Wanna see crime stats drop? Don't ban guns, ban professional athletes. Send all of them to their own island and just broadcast their games on TV.

What crime did Latrell Spreewell commit, got in a fight?

and Webber? maybe took money from an agent? big deal, the ncaa is the biggest criminal, cashing in on players who aren't allowed any money.

I seriously doubt Pucket did this...sounds like someone wants to win the lottery.

Who can trust eyewitness testimony anyway. I'm sure hes innocent. Don't believe me. Just wait I said the same about OJ.

All the charges against Iverson were dropped, IIRC.

Allowed monies? No they aren't, instead they get something intangible, a college education. Something worth far more than they would get if the NCAA were to pay them, and for most of the college athletes, most if not all of their schooling/living expenses are paid for.
