Amen. The sad part is, much like the NFL/NBA/MLB employing hundreds of criminals (MLB to a lesser extent, I might add; although Aroldis Chapman can go pound salt), the entertainment industry promotes this type of behavior. Our society is really screwed up because of the perpetual nature of these antics. Subject A acts like an arse in public, disregarding all manners and respect for society. Subject A then gets paid $XXXXXXXXX for such antics. Teenage Subject B witnesses these antics, sees Subject A get rich, idolizes Subject A and wants to be like them. Pre-teen Subject C sees Subject B acting like Subject A, and wants to be like Subject B because they look up to them and/or want to be like them. The cycle of crap continues.

Don't even get me started on the national media ignoring the figureheads in NASCAR, Country Music, etc., yet employing and promoting people like Lady Gaga or Beyonce, who performed a racially charged show at last year's Super Bowl. I know this board doesn't tolerate political discussions, so I will keep this short, subtle, and to the point...

We need more kids idolizing guys like Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, Shaq, Chase Elliott, and most importantly, our military members. The term "Hero" is thrown around too loosely.
