@TJCarpenterWHB – tj@810whb.com – Tyrann Mathieu at LSU, Chad Johnson in the NFL and countless other athletes believe they can get away with disregarding rules and laws because of a culture created to idolize them. Teams and businesses build them up because fans are drawn to them and are therefore easy cash cows. The business of sports is almost always the status quo, even though most feign moral obligation as their primary focus. And even when teams like Arkansas take a moral stand and fire coaches, the media criticizes that stance as “bad business”. In the world of sports, business and morality seldom mix. And the punishments doled out to schools and teams are never harsh enough to deter future disregard, just as USC. In their first year back in bowl eligibility, they are favorites to win the National Title.
