Part Of The Game Deviant Behavior
950 wordsNature always has a way of balancing itself out, and in my opinion, deviant behavior is no exception.

Sports definitely discourage off the field problems, but they also bring about a whole new set of on the field problems. Playing sports brings out the competitive sides of many athletes.
