To show the pernicious effect sports has on education, here is a story of another crook sports guy who was convicted of a Federal crime getting his state teaching permit back merely because he is a sports guy.
Ken Merarro has the story about Lynn Lang who was convicted of money laundering in a sports scandal in 1999. Yet the state has given this crook back his teachers license.
It goes to serve as a perfect example of why I feel sports should be excised from out schools. Sports teaches NOTHING whatever and has become nothing but an opportunity for corruption, wastes of budgets, and criminal behavior as the hugh money involved in Division 1A or Professional sports is filtered throughout our schools on both the high school and university levels.
