Nina Bernstein of the NY Times, writes in On Colleges Campuses, Athletes Often Get Off Easy about how colleges protect athetes who committed crimes and often sweep their offenses under the rug.
I think we need to look at where this starts: K-12 sports programs. No, not just high school coaches, but also the middle school coaches who dont hold their players accountable for infractions of rules or common decency. Ii've seen numerous 8th grade athletes get away with misbehavior in class or elswhere on campus, with no reporcussions whatsoever. I would not tolerate the kind of nonsense I've observed, but then, that's probably why I'm not a coach. i'd piss off too many parents.
