Sports, the Law, and the * (Asterisk)

Carmelo apologizes for DUI arrest

We've seen it all in sports: alleged steroids, DUIs, smacking women around, and multiple arrests. We don't see the extent of their lawbreaking until it hits the presses, and even then, most team organizations are quiet, allowing the law and their respective parent organizations handle the mess with giving the punishments (or not). In the higher profile cases, such as the Major League Baseball crackdown on those admitting to using performance-enhancing drugs, things seem to get done. But some feel that because they're the superstars of American sports, they get the kid glove treatment. Although some would even argue they get equal treatment; it's just magnified by the camera lenses that surround them.

So, what do you think?
