Professional athletes never in trouble?

It always seem like that athletes are always getting themselves into trouble but it doesn't seem to be a big deal in the laws eyes. Big Ben was accused of forcing himself on a woman and what was his punishment? He was suspended for 6 games of the NFL season. Last year Manny Ramirez tested positive for taking steroids and he was suspended for 50 games. So even though they got punished in their sports league nothing really happened to them and is this fair?

I think this is so not fair. Look at another one Michael Vick, I thought he was an awful person for what he did to those dogs, then The Philadelphia fans jumped all over his bandwagon and cheered for him. I love football but if had come to the team I root for, I would have had to change my affiliation. This happens so much, it does not seem fair that not only do they have the world given to them on a silver platter and should never screw that up. They not only screw it up, break the laws but never really get punished like the regular population would.

Well unlike the others Michael Vick served his time. Maybe not as much time as someone else with the same crime but he did serve some time. Also, just because he did something bad doesn't change his ability to play the game. He is a great "player" but made some bad choices.
