Okay, some professional athletes killed or raped people, but John Gotti was a professional criminal!
Obviously there is a clear difference between organized crime figures and amateurs.http://www.king-mag.com/online/?p=5996
Fortunately I have never suffered from the worship of athletes or mobsters.
Plenty of guys can rattle off sports trivia but don’t even know what underhanded crap is going on in the halls of congress.
But they don’t really care as long as they can keep their big screen TV for Saturday and get another two for one coupon from Chili’s.
The pros usually don’t have any respect for amateurs.
