American sports seem to be filled with cheaters, criminals, anti-heroes and sickening creeps. If there has been a year with more disheartening news affecting the world of American sports, 2011 by far would take the cake. Violence is more rampant than ever. Fans like Bryan Stow and James Mohr suffered serious physical assaults by rival fans after professional games, with Stow ...
