Give it up, man. 40 years ago, only men went to the games, everybody drank, smoked, and gambled, and an in-game fight rarely drew a suspension or was worthy of front page news. Now women and children are at the game, gambling fixes are gleaned by playing fantasy sports, smoking is banned, no beer after the third quarter, and if there's an altercation, a player leaving the bench accidentally gets suspended for a game
This times 100. Also athletes rarely got suspended for off the field stuff years ago. Suspensions for alcohol, drugs, PEDs, yeah right. A large majority of athletes today have way more discipline that their predecessors, if for no other reason than they have more at risk with more restrictive contracts and stronger penalties for both on and off the field behavior.
