My take on Athletes

Hello Sports Fans!

This is my first article and I would like to introduce you to my writing with a topic that I hold dearly to my heart. Athletes, they originated in Athens, and now roam the likes of Los Angeles way above the blood - alcohol level. However there are good bunch of athletes that do not drink or drive, and those athletes I respect. For example lets take Dante Stallworth former Wide Receiver for the Cleveland Browns who ended the life of a 58 year old man in Miami. He was driving home (I would hope) at around 2am in the morning way above the blood - alcohol level. He must have been extremely giddy about his new 2 million or so signing bonus, and celebrated with a few (probably more) drinks with his buddies. I would also like to point out that the signing bonus of a mediocre Wide Receiver in the NFL makes more than lets say an English teacher would in 50 years. This disturbs me because of how lame, and lowly Dante Stallworth is because he sets a bad example for other aspiring athletes. On the contrary the teacher surely struggles with money, but opens the lives of others by installing in them a good education. I really should be doing homework, however keep reading.
