Again you miss the point and don't address what I wrote. Child abuse is against the law and horrible and seldom are the guilty punished enough. We'll see how the courts treat this case. But this has little to do with my post. My post is about implications for certain segments of the population that pay much much more where there jobs and ability to earn money are affected for things that have NOTHING to do with their jobs.
The Wall St. crisis showed many lawbreakers and cheaters and the companies got fines that were pennies on the dollar and NOBODY served time and NOBODY lost personal income but you don't see EVERY talking head in the media saying they should be banned from Wall St. or suspended from their jobs or or lose more income for them do you?
You see all the media calling for stiffer fines to these (mostly black) athletes and even many calling for lifetime bans from the league for some. I don't see any other segment of the population having their employment affected like this for off field (things not done at the workplace) actions. NONE!

Good point.
Perhaps it comes from being so much in the public eye. And because those in the public eye are seen as role models. Maybe not fair, but a fact of life.
That spins over into the political realm also. What is it that makes a movie star, comedian, singer or athlete more capable of analyzing politics than the average person? Nothing. But there are many who hang on their words as though they are spoken from a fountain of eternal knowledge and truth.
Yes I see it similarly. I was repairing an old tube radio yesterday and tuned in Rush Limbaugh who called the treatment of Rice by the NFL double jeopardy of a sort. First time we've had a similar opinion.......
