I agree with Paul Smith... making excuses is a huge issue here, no one wants to be accountable for anything anymore - always blaming someone else for their problems. And, it's not just in sports - it is everywhere.
I for one am tired of looking up to athletic "heroes" and a couple years down the road, they admit to cheating or are caught... I feel like a fool when this happens because I cheered for them and wanted them to win/medal. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't like getting burned like that (from a fan's perspective).
