What is your take on the behavior of some professional athletes?

When I watch professional sports and I see the athletes or teams engage in fights and other unsportsmanlike activity, I tend to view it as juvenile and immature behavior on their part.

Here are people making millions of dollars to play sports for a living, many of these persons being role models or heroes to the younger generation, and then their antics become an embarrassment to their sport, their team, and themselves.

Examples would be hockey players having serious fistfights, baseball teams having both benches empty out for a melee in the middle of the infield, skirmishes in basketball and football, etc. And then there is the deplorable activities off the field also such as drug and alcohol abuses and many other incidents.

Does anyone else agree that all of this sets a very bad example and gives a bad name to sports in America?
