\u00a0It was disturbing to hear recently that a long time athletic trainer was dismissed for his role in a bullying scandal within an NFL team. \u00a0Disturbing, that it was going on in the first place and disturbing a colleague got caught up in it by not intervening for an associate. \u00a0We all are accountable for our actions and the atmosphere we tolerate or accept be it in a locker room, athletic training facility, office or wherever we have to accept responsibility. \u00a0The culture of sports is changing, be it the rules, the intensity, the language, the locker room atmosphere, gay & lesbian athletes becoming more visible in sports. \u00a0Even Sports Illustrated with their \u201cswimsuit\u201d or lack there of issue. Personally, I handed it to my wife upside down and asked she destroy it then & there, she did so gladly. It\u2019s degrading to women and decent values. \u00a0All leads to a changing or evolving mindset. \u00a0How will you respond when and if any of this is right in front of you? Hopefully with love, compassion and a willingness to see people as a person and not some object.<\/p>\n
