Are athletes role models? Many of them maintain that they should not be looked upon as role models. However, society on the other hand calls upon athletes to be role models to America’s youth.

For those of you unfamiliar with the MLL (Major League Lacrosse), it is the premier outdoor lacrosse league in the US. It started in 2001 by founder Jake Steinfeld, owner of Body by Jake. The league currently has 2 conferences (Eastern and Western) with 10 teams. In the Eastern Conference the teams are the Boston Cannons, Long Island Lizards, New Jersey Pride, Philadelphia Barrage (defending 2006 Steinfeld Cup Champion), Rochester Rattlers, and the Washinton Bayhawks. The Western Conference Teams are the Denver Outlaws, Chicago Machine, San Francisco Dragons, and the Los Angeles Riptide. There are 12 games in a season. Now that you have a little knowledge about the MLL, here is my 2007 season preview.

I never thought I’d find myself writing these words. I thought they’d go the distance. I thought they were stronger than this… stronger than Andre and Steffi, stronger then Mia and Nomar. And yet, this President’s Day weekend, the earth-shattering news broke: Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter are no longer best friends forever. You read that correctly, folks – A-Rod and Jeter are BFFs no more. How will we go on? How will we cope? Can the Yankees even bring themselves to compete in light of the biggest of big chills?

On Sunday afternoon, I rediscovered my Southern roots.
OK, I lied. I was born in Rhode Island and grew up in Massachusetts. I fit in south of the Mason-Dixon line about as easily as Charlton Heston at a vegan convention. But for one day, I was Southern.

Juxtaposition
Intellectuals often complain about the double standard athletes are granted in society. Professional players lose their distinction as citizens, American Royalty. However, many never stop to consider the treacherous position this circumstance drops our sports stars into. An individual can become easily entrapped in celebrity, and those who maintain their character in our cutthroat culture deserve to be commended for their courage, and conviction.
