Last week the feds indicted Chicago Bears receiver Sam Hurd on drug charges as reported by The Associated Press: "the police said he told an undercover agent he was interested in buying 5 to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week to distribute in the Chicago area."
It's funny because the line between athletes and thugs is becoming increasingly blurred.
Indeed, investigators are "finding a growing connection between gangs and sports, with athletes getting caught up in senseless gang violence at times" as reported by CBS News: "a survey of 130 top athletic programs . . . found that 19.5 percent of the 87 campus police chiefs who responded reported 'direct knowledge of a student-athlete who retained gang membership while at their university.'"
