These athletes are letting their ego get in the way rational thought. Football, basketball, baseball, and a host of other sports are not comparable to risking your life for our country. Every time one of these guys opens their mouth, it makes me regret wasting my time watching them compete. Thousands upon thousands have given their lives for this country. How many pro athletes have died for it? Their may be others but Pat Tillman is the only recent one I can think of.
Hero worship of pro athletes is misplaced.
