I Apoligize for An Error In Judgement, Enough Already !

without comments

I apologize for a error in judgment . I apologize to my teammates and the organization. Sound Familiar? It should, it happens about twice a month these days. Joba Chamberlain is the latest in the long parade of good guys gone badly. Chamberlain was booked in DUI suspicion and later released. The New York Yankees are standing behind him if for no other reason that he is an outstanding athlete on the field.

Adam Pacman Jones had a bout with alcohol and was suspended indefinitely form the NFL. Obviously he has some history, but the point is when do you say enough is enough. Where I work if I get a DUI and subsequent conviction I get fired. Not so in professional sports. The athlete usually gets some sympathy some paid for counseling and it back to business as usual.
