I would love sports as much as this man if the pros weren't dominated by rapists, drug users, prima donnas, wife beaters, thugs, and other undesirables.

How blanketly unfair and sterotypical. Pro leagues are hardly dominated by those types of people. Although press coverage of pro leagues are dominated by them. There are far more decent people in football that spend substantial time and money helping out the community, than there are "rapists, drug users , prima donnas, wife beaters, thugs, and other undesirables." It's a shame that the 5% of bad ones get 90% of the press.

But those bad ones are usually the biggest stars. Sure Joe Average professional athlete doesn't get watched to the point that he gets caught, but many of the big names do. And you can't go a week without hearing what one of those guys have done criminally to get themselves in the paper. And to make everything all better, they usually walk the next day.
