Foursome Of Domestic Violence Charges Bring Shame To Players, NBA

I don't really have the time to properly express my disgust over all of disgraceful behavior by so many professional athletes in recent months (never mind Miley), so let's just take a sample of the past 35 days and focus only on the NBA...

Would you believe that no fewer than FOUR players (well, three and an ex-player, anyway) were picked up for charges of domestic violence? Yup, it's true.

Those four offenders were:

Craig Ehlo, former Cleveland Cavalier star who is best known for being the defender that Michael Jordan shot over to bury "The Shot", now having been arrested in early August for domestic violence....

Boston Celtics Forward Jared Sullinger, who hasn't been on a court in months after back surgery but who landed in a court just days ago for domestic assault...

And, most recently, NBA player Royce White, who has yet to actually play an NBA game because of a severe anxiety disorder that prevents him from flying, has been charged with domestic violence. Now, instead of an inspirational story, he's potentially just another felon.
