These Athletes and Their Dumb Actions

Ok, so last time I touched on the case of Ricky Williams a little bit; and it had me thinking about looking into how many athletes get arrested for either possession of some kind of drug or just drunk driving. During my search, I came across a website that looked like it could possibly help me out with majority of this project. This site was called nflcrimes.com; and I found a lot of interesting articles on just about every crime committed by a athlete in the past two years up to this day. This website brought to attention that there has been just about twenty accounts of an athlete being charged with either drug possession or driving with or under the influence of alcohol in the past year!! That's pretty crazy and ridiculous at the same time. You have nothing better to do with your money than to buy drugs or just be stupid and drive while you're intoxicated.

I thought that drugs would mess up your performance especially marijuana or cocaine. Stuff like this so avoidable that it should be easy to stay away from them. In reality, if you are an athlete, then all crimes should be avoidable. You are a rich man, probably living your childhood dreams by playing pro football, but you mess that up by going to purchase a illegal drug and then get caught. Then, drunk driving is one of the most riskiest things to do. You can get into an accident and possibly kill someone or kill yourself. I cant forget about those performance enhancer drugs that is getting sport stars caught up. This is why they have training camp and practices, to enhance your performance!!! The track star Marion Jones was sent to jail because she lied to federal agents about using these enhancer drugs. Seriously, if you don't think you are not your old self so as to say "when you were younger", then I think it's time for you to give it up.
