They do have the same rights. The tough part of this is I think this guy DOES have a history with a similar chemical under some questionable circumstances. I don't recall all of the details. WRT rights though.....I'm not sure a Pro football player has the RIGHT to damage a teams image or the image of the NFL with his actions. There are costs associated for such actions that cannot be measured. I'm not sure how I'd feel about my 5 million dollar QB trashing team sales because certain actions he engaged in gave the team a bad image.

True, but these athletes benefit from being the objects of public scrutiny and, for some, admiration. That carries with it a degree of responsibility - particularly because it affects so many children. All adults in a society should have an obligation to behave themselves and set good examples for our young. Man is a social animal and that will not ever change, so he has to learn to live with others without disrupting the social fabric.
