what they are paid to do. The coach just stands there and watches.
But our "professional" athletes get away with much worse. A football player is

caught with enough illegal drugs to send you and me to jail. He's suspended for only
five games. A baseball player spits into an umpire's face. Nothing happens. The lout
should be thrown out of the game, banned for a season. A basketball player kicks a
TV cameraman in the groin. The thug should be out for the season. An eleven game
suspension and a monetary fine is what he gets. The player's union says it will file a
suit because the punishment is too stiff. Decent manners are not part of the contract it
seems. Hockey players high-stick, football player spear, basketball players knee
groins. 2 minutes, 15 yards, 2 free throws. That's all. The gorillas should be thrown
out of the game the first time, suspended for the season the second time.
But lets not single out the professionals. A university football player assaults a
woman—he's back the following year. A basketball player throws a towel in the
coach's face. He's back after two games. It seems that the rules of decency are dif-
ferent in the athletic brotherhood. High school athletes are learning: a football player
runs across the field and blindsides the referee; a basketball player slugs a referee hard
enough to require stitches. Somebody told me that participation in sports builds char-
acter. Yeah,sure.
It is hard to blame these kids. After all, our society regards and values athletic
achievement much higher than academic success. There are letters for sports but
rarely for academics. Two hours of TV hype about the Heisman Trophy winner, not a
whisper about National Merit Scholars. A press conference for a new coach, not for a
new dean.
Athletes in this country learn early that they are special, that winning is more
important than silly rules meant for lesser people. That's part of their education, that's
part of our "culture".
