have you by any chance watched the new netflix show, Last Chance U? I think it's a great look into the machine that produces these players. They're basically coddled and sheltered and handheld through college and groomed for the pros. They're the first to go to college in their family and they have no support structure outside of the university. From there, they're made millionaires and released into the world. I know you say 'unaccountable' but what if you've never had to BE accountable? you can point to players in good standing if you'd like, but everyone's experience isn't the same. and, disproportionately, poor/lower middle class african american players take the route described above. and then people pretend to be shocked when the marijuana use happens again and again and again and again. or the car racing or drinking or violence.
