Teammate theft redux

An update on last week’s blog entry on why a multi-millionaire pro-athlete would steal from a teammate. From a sports pyschologist in this Sunday NY Times piece: a sense of entitlement, with roots in a lack of structure and little contact/interaction with a father while growing up. Another says a major factor is poorly developed moral character and sense of guilt as many pro athletes have family backgrounds where structure and discipline were nonexistent.
