People want their kids to idolize the PLAYERS. It has been thus since the Roman times.
But who they should really be idolizing is the OWNERS. They are the ones rich enough to hire the meat-popsicles to go out and beat the crap out of each other.
In other words: everyone who has a financial stake in the league has no interest in quelling any of of this stuff.
The NFL example mentioned above is true. It's the same thing that motivates cover-ups of performance enhancing drugs rings in biking and elsewhere, also.
