... have a certain respect for the other team. Yet, many people still question the ethics of professional sports. Do these men and women who get paid for their talent still have respect for themselves, the fans, and the opposing team?

... violent and committing crimes is because, they sit in front of the stupid TV all day long. They don't spend enough time outdoors, hunting, fishing, surfing, and doing all those fun exciting things. The outdoors offers so much to do and takes your mind off reality and into the fun world.
