SPORTSFEBRUARY 11, 2000, THE BEHREND BEACON, PAGE 13 Hoodlums, Convicts, and Crackheads: the state of the NFL A little over a week ago another National Football League player converted from superstar to convict. Ray Lewis, all-star linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, became the latest NFL athlete to put on the pinstripes. Supposedly Lewis and several others murdered two people on January 31. Night long Super Bowl parties are not supposed to end with two people dead, Ray. Now I know they at least taught you that at the University of Miami. Actually murder has become a common event in the NFL ranks. Besides OJ, who got off because the glove didn't fit and who by the way is still looking for the real killer, other NFL superstars have been guests at the Graybar Hotel.

Why do these players who are financially set for life and couldn't possibly ask for any more material goods commit such crimes? In my opinion there isn't one specific answer or solution to this escalating problem. For starters we as a society have to be careful when we automatically depict athletes as role models. Just because someone can throw a football or can run real fast doesn't make them a person that children should idolize. Most of these athletes can barely write a complete sentence, let alone be a role model for millions of people. And that brings up another point. Why are we allowing athletes to slide through college simply because they can fill arenas and the universities' ~.`~s ;. ~;~1 G-~ 9-0 16-5 7-2 12-7 5-4 8-11 4-4 9-10 3-5 7-12 1-7 7-13 1-8 6-14 &IrS;!%;::AMiit.. , .'••• war chests? The sole purpose of the athletes must take more attending college is to get an responsibility for their actions. We education, or edumacation ,as in the as a society should be treating case of most top athletes. Colleges like Florida State and t h e University of Miami breed athletes who constantly break the law and defy the rules of society.

To Brandaline, Thank you so much for being a true friend. Girl, you have seen me through some trials and tribula- tions. I cannot count a time when you weren't there for me and Dele. I appreciate your patience and kindess towards me. We have made it through 3 years with God on our sides. May God bless you and Happy Valentine's Day.

Deadline for submission for publication in that week's paper is Tuesday at S:OOPM athletes as normal citizens and not as gods who arc almighty. No more praising repeat drug offenders. (i.e. Bam Morris and Lawrence Taylor) Players who abuse illegal substances, abuse their spouses or father dozens of illegitimate children (i.e. Shawn Kemp) should be held accountable by their respective teams. Now I know that teams can't nor should monitor players' actions 24- 7, but they can suspend their multi million dollar contracts if they break the law. Something has to be done to control these athletes. It's time that they join the rest of us in reality. r-o r I Happy Valentine's Day Keenan!
