Every time you turn on the TV, pick up a newspaper, or read the sports news on ESPN, you hear about someone cheating athletes use steroids or other drugs. These days you can not tell good guys from bad guys anymore.
How and why did sports gotten this way and why are the players to? I think the answer is money when you talk about the pros athletes. Think about this: you're better as a pro more of your agreement will biti.Duže professionals can play in more big money učiniti.Igrači'll do it because they do not think they will get caught, but how many times have we all seen that most of these players do not actually get caught. This December the athletes who feel they must cheat can not hide their wrongdoings, the truth always comes out. For me, it hurts the overall sport and sets a real bad example for kids who look up to these athletes in December.
There is always some kind of sports on television all the time and the kids have their favorite players. It's bad when the pro athlete gets caught cheating, especially if one of my favorite players. You feel bad and sad in a way, because you're looking for inspiration for this player from a kind and sad, because it hurts when that player will not let you down.
Cheating tells kids that if you're not that good enough to just cheat to get better and one day may do so at profesionalce.Mladi kids will say, "The pros do it, why not me?"
What happened to hard work to be the best and develop their talents and skills to make it to the highest level you can? Now he fell down at the high school level. There are high school athletes who use steroids. Their reason is, of course, is that the bigger, faster and better for the land that all important scholarship to major universities and make it pro, where can I get paid and use more drugs. I hate when I hear stories of drugs of all time and now in middle school children to work and it's crazy! These are high school athletes who are 16 and 17 years of age who are made to feel that taking steroids, in some way to convert them to top athletes!
Why is so much pressure on high school kids anyway? The reason is the pressure at the high school kids, because winning games is about scholarships, money and fame, the attention of bloggers and in billboards, the radio, newspapers, TV-Think about it, nobody talks about the players who sit on the bench.
There are things that go on every day in the lives of young people that we will never understand. Pressure, in the minds of some high school athletes must be at times overwhelming. You hear stories about high school coaches of all time, breaking the rules of this class changed or fixed in hiring players with their schools. My question is why? Why do some high school coaches feel the need to cheat? They are not supposed to be a leader out there? Now do not get me wrong, I'm not saying that all high school coaches to cheat, but those that do not make it look bad for all the other coaches who are not right. Winning is the reason for cheating in the small minds of high school coaches who do not cheat.
Yes, everyone loves a winner. Your name is in the work of all time, you talked about how they increased in people's minds, and everyone wants to be a winner. Winning can bring higher wages and better coaching jobs. However, the weak minds of some of those coaches who feel the need to break the rules often do not see the big picture, and, like most swindlers, they assume that they will never be caught.
coaches and student athletes who do not play by the rules to this because in the end, cheaters will get caught, and the winners, who do not cheat the big things will always find them.
fake downside is that the penalty can be very difficult. Just look at someone like Pete Rose a great baseball player who bet on baseball games. His cheating is why he is in baseball and will never get back in. Pete Rose has paid a high price for all their wrongdoings, and no matter what he says or he will never return to baseball.
Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire are great baseball players who hit the big home runs, but used steroids only hit those home runs. They are deceived and fans who are after them like they hate each other now. And a great baseball player looked good breaking all these records, but look at the shame they brought upon themselves. Every day the media talk about Barry Bonds and steroids - is it worth it to use drugs, to get more in baseball, cheating? Once a homerun record means nothing. This is just a number now that there is no value. Most people could not care less about baseball record now as they used to, when Hank Aaron broke back in 1974.
There is talk about Reggie Bush football player who plays for the New Orleans Saints and cheating and taking the big money and houses and cars, while at USC. If you found out to be true, then USC will have to lose their state championship and Reggie Bush will have to pay back his Heisman Trophy. Is it worth all this Reggie?
List of frauds goes on and on for great athletes, but when caught, punishment was harsh, and their names were dragged through the mud like a dead horse.
At the secondary level of steroids use, the price is known to be deadly. There are stories out there of young people die because of these things. What about professional athletes who used steroids for a long time? What will happen to them when they are in their late 40s and their 50 -? I'm sure you will develop some health problems. When you think about it, this is a drug that they are putting into their bodies.
In the end, cheaters never win, but winners always do.
