This issue is a symptom of a wider problem. This is about NBA AND NFL players many, whom have been pampered since high school, given special attention, full scholarships, etc.that by time they reach the pro's they believe themselves demigods.

the solution of course is instead of cultivating these ingrates in schools establish a minor leagues as does MLB. I do not see many demigods in the MLB

The unspoken truth is that many of those NFL players protesting with, in the absence of football/basketball as a career would be in jail or on the streets.
