Alot of these athletes that are being referred to as "bad citizens" were also not born with a half a chance. I can only imagine how hard it must be for a kid to grow up in the type of household that alot of them did, having to fend off the path of gang relations and drug habits that so many of their friends take. Instead they use their talent and time to rise above the rest and make a very nice living for themselves and their families. I think as fans we take for granted the situations that many (not all) but many come from.
