Superstars on Dope


Drugs and the athletes who *allegedly* use them are back in the news. An olympic swimmer is photographed with a bong in front of his mouth. A baseball player is said to use steroids. And the beat goes on.
One reason we know these young men so well is television. Their activities are a staple of the boob tube. This is paid for by advertising. One of the leading purchasers of sports broadcast advertising is alcohol.
Alcohol is america’s number one drug problem. There is no second place. Alcohol kills more people than all illegal drugs combined.
Any athlete who performs on television promotes alcohol use.
