Proffessional athletes vs. US population. - Page 2

Are the numerous legal troubles that proffesional athletes experience unique to they're uncommon proffession or are they simply a microcosm of the United States population? In other words, would a randomly picked portion of the U.S. population experience the same problems as proffesional athletes?

I've often wondered the answer to this question and you all have probably discussed this before.

Professional athletes are a reflection of the general population [u]provided[/u] you handed the general population tons of money and absolved them of all personal responsibility [a side effect of tons of money, as you can always pay someone to be responsible for your actions].

Some of us would handle it. Some of us would not.

More money than brains is always a bad ratio.
