About 7 and a half years ago, Donald Fehr and I was sitting in the dugout in the chain of Lakes Stadium in Winter Haven, Florida just talking. In March 1992, Fehr did its job as Executive Director of Major League Baseball Players Association by visiting every major league players during spring training and speaking workforce.
Donald Fehr is a man who is very intelligent and conversation that changes money, fame, and the players of the day, 1992, which included Bobby Bonilla. There is one sentence of the conversation that has stayed with me for almost two decades.
The words Fehr's have once again cut in light of the arrest of former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky for allegedly committing crimes involving children. Penn State football coach Joe Paterno was fired because he was not quite in the law enforcement alerting in case of Sandusky.
Law enforcement officers will continue to investigate alleged crimes but fallout Sandusky must have wide ranging consequences including the scholarship of the childish on celebrities. But it will not.
For some reason college football and basketball coaches such as Paterno, as Woody Hayes, such as Bob Knight, like Jim Tressel has given respect in unreasonable amounts because they coach the team win. They are part of American royalty when in reality all they did was to coach the game. But jock sniffers, which included men and women who go to school are trained by the "legend", which is routinely genuflect in front of the coach.
