Not all bad apples

It’s true some professional athletes abuse the money they get and do drugs or use steroids. However, that is only a small percent of the athletes.

Most athletes volunteer at schools and hospitals, and every year the NBA Cares community program goes out and helps construct parks for children. The NFL supports Play 60, an organization in which NFL athletes donate their time to teach kids sportsmanship and how to play together.

Does that sound like a bad group of people to you? To me that sounds like a group of people who know they have been gifted and want to give back to the community.
