Many professional athletes make millions of dollars each and every year. With that money they buy cars that can drive four times fast than a posted highway speed limit, party, go to clubs, and "make it rain". After a fun night out on the town these same athletes often get pulled over for speeding, suspicion of drunken driving, or any other traffic violation. To make their situation even worse these athletes feel the need to embarrass themselves by resisting arrest and by making arrogant retorts. Not only are these public figures breaking laws and getting arrest they are laying lines down like “Do you know who I am?” or “I am an NFL player and I’m going to sue your ass.” Allen Iverson and Legedu Naanee were the culprits of these quotes, and were way out of line. A story like this embarrasses the franchise and could lose these player’s their jobs if this behavior is continued. Just because they are making more money than most citizens and people know who are doesn’t make you any more important than your “Average Joe”. The sooner athletes start to realize this fact; fewer stories like this will be released to the media.
