As a sports ethics motivational speaker and sports ethics consultant, I am consistent in my insistence that no employee of a sports organization should ever try to “take the fall” or assist in the covering up of unethical behavior. When any kind of cover-up occurs, it always comes back to haunt the person who thought they were being the good guy, the model employee or the assistant insider to the assistant coach. An employee cannot work their way up that way; not a DIII line coach or someone in marketing […]

Other than the “Kars for Kids” jingle, we can think of possibly no other song as obnoxious as the 1974 classic, “Feelings.” It is possibly the most over-sung song in the history of Karaoke. We recall the song under the strangest of conditions, as the Houston Texans (currently at 1-9-1) prepare to take on the Cleveland Browns (at 4-7). The game, under normal conditions, would be a sleeper. You would clean the bathroom floor or check the dog for fleas during a game of this diminished magnitude. Caveat: I have […]

At the time it was kind of absurd, because my residence is in South Carolina and my friend lives outside of Cleveland. How did he hear about a DUI involving a Nebraska player? It was apparently on ESPN and other national sites. In these times — and forever more — nothing is local. He couldn’t remember the name of the player so […]

by Bruce Wolk for Sports Ethics If you have grown up loving football, and Brett Favre in particular, I cannot believe what he has done to ruin his reputation in these past months. First, there was the diversion of PPP funds that he and co-defendants at the University of Mississippi were able to hide away from deserving welfare recipients, only to re-emerge as a sleek volleyball center. As his daughter is on the volleyball team, aside from the nepotism angle, it all smacks of a sickening privilege. Irony of ironies, […]

(Last evening, as we watched a Sunday night game, the NFL had a public service type announcement in support of mental health. We believe, quite strongly, that mental health should be a national priority. That said, what is the NFL [or any league] doing to prioritize treatment for its own athletes? The following article was originally posted in by Chuck Gallagher in March 2022.) What is the biggest sucker bet in sports? Would you like a minute or two to guess? I’ll save you the trouble: the biggest sucker bet […]
