San Antonio Adult Entertainment: Stand by Phoenix Suns a ray of light in dark world
May 10, 2010It’s ugly to look at — the dark, amoral, twisted side of sports stars. Athletes who were thought to exemplify manliness are instead exposed as the puniest of men.
While acquiring fame they must have lost the emotion of shame. While their egos inflated, their capacity for empathy shrunk. Control freaks on the field of play, they lacked self-control off it. How else to explain the behavior of Lawrence Taylor, George Huguely, Ben Roethlisberger and Tiger Woods?
Let’s be careful to distinguish between varying degrees.
Taylor, the Hall of Fame linebacker, is a 51-year-old man charged with raping a 16-year-old girl who arrived in his hotel room with a black eye — an obvious sign of distress. Police said he admitted to having sex and paying her $300. She was a runaway delivered by a pimp.
