I thought I would do a general blog entry today about not any particular sports in general, but rather instead about the public perception of a very small minority of athletes who make a bad name for the rest of the players in their league, and in sports in general.  There are plenty of athletes in the NFL, NCAA, MLB, NBA, etc, who have a great and positive impact in their communities.
