From our friends at the Crime Museum...
According to the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes, the general population conviction rate is 80 percent. Yet the conviction rate of an athlete drops to only 38 percent. While many athletes live up to their superstar status with good behavior and giving back to the community, several athletes fall short of the higher standard expectation. To highlight the real role models in kids’ lives, which are the parents, the Crime Museum in Washington, DC is featuring a Sports Crimes exhibit over Father’s Day weekend, June 19-21, 2015.
“Oftentimes, parents are overlooked as important role models because of the celebrities or famous athletes promoting products or winning high scores,” states Janine Vaccarello, chief operating officer of the Crime Museum. “However, athletes aren’t meant to be role models, teaching your children. Parents are. So, to celebrate Father’s Day, we’re devoting a weekend to all the fathers out there.”
