e.g. Why are most of your athletes on drugs?
Sports in the U!S!A! (the three most obnoxious letters in international sport by the way) are not just a game. They are the most perfect expression of the American Culture (and, interestingly enough they are exceptional as the three big sports in America are really American inventions and developments) and as such are the perfect mirror of American Society - so the question answers itself. Most of our athletes are on drugs because most of the American population is on drugs. The rate at which we have little kids on heavy duty drugs for things that might or might not actually exist (ADD and other 'behavior disorders'), to the enormous alcohol production and consumption, the fact that Americans do the vast majority of illegal narcotics, the fact that in several places, including the number one agriculture state, Cali, illegal marijuana is the number one crop in cash value, drugs for depression, social anxiety, to help you sleep, to help wake you up, and some drugs are so freaking powerful, they mess with your mind so much that you can actually come to think that an evening at a rave, with hours on end of music that is beating faster than your heart (thus speeding it up) at a bone crunching level of volume and is mind-blowingly repetitive is actually a good idea.
I recall the 49rs ruined by a salary cap and I never understood why.
