Why do athletes show up to practice or team meetings late? I do not understand why they do it. They get all this kinds of money to play a sport (job) they want to do and have passion for. Athletes feel because they are in the which ever league they have it made and they do not have to work at it. I am referring to Randy Moss who this past week was late to a team meeting along with four other teammates. That is unacceptable for an athlete of Moss’s caliber to be late for a team meeting. Team meeting make teams better and closer together if Moss wants to be a team player than it starts off the field. Yeah they meeting might be boring or lame, but they are very beneficial and help with improvements to the team. Hey Randy just because you won a few Super Bowls and were undefeated two seasons ago doesn’t mean you are excused from these types of functions. This is not the first time a star athlete has been late for a team meeting. We see it all the time, star athletes think they are above everyone else on their teams. I just want star athletes to be honored and humbled to be where they are. I want them to feel like they can always be better and be a role model to the young crowd. Granted there are some athletes who do the right things on and off the field and are good role models.
I agree with your statements but you have to understand that most of these guys come from a bad background where they never cared about anything but themselves. If Moss was a McDonald's employee I still think he would be late occassionally because that's who he is as a person. I use this phrase, "you can take the person out the ghetto, but cant take the ghetto out the person". I think it's true in the case
