DM: When Winning Is Everything
I started thinking about how many people within the sports community are enablers when it comes to boys behaving badly. Some are in the media. Others among the fan base. Owners. And yes, even coaches. However, I have to say when it's at the college level and a school gives a coach a pass for egregious behavior, it becomes perfectly clear why many of these young men have little knowledge of socially acceptable behavior. Politicians, as sleazy as they can be at times, don't get the pass that Rick Pitino is getting from the University of Louisville!/Dogwalk Musings. More here.
Question: Who gets a bigger pass when he misbehaves? A college athlete or coach? Or politician? Why?
