(1) What do you think about the Allen Iverson's situation?
What
he did was not good, first of all, if you are a superstar you shouldn't
go to people's house with a gun.
(2) Do you think that he needs to go to jail?
Well, he should
be charged because he had committed a crime and so many athletes are
getting away with it.
(3) Do you think that he should be suspended from the NBA and how
will his fans react?
Well, if he is convicted then he needs to be
on probation. His fans will feel bad because their M.V.P is no longer
playing.
(4) Do you think that his behavior is reflective of today's athletes?
Really,
I don't know Allen Iverson outside the court and I can't judge someone
by not knowing him.
(5) Do you think athletes should be role models?
Of course, a lot of children want to be athletes and children watch
what they do on television so they need to set examples for these kids.

I
really didn't give any thought about it and I didn't really think about
it too much.

No, I don't think
so because what he did requires a jail time.
(3) Do you think that he should be suspended from the NBA and how
will his fans react?
For punishment, yes he needs to be suspended
and for his behavior so he deserves some punishment.
(4) Do you think that his behavior is reflective of today's athletes?
No,
I think is a not today's athlete but it is his own way of acting.
(5) Do you think athletes should be role models?
Yes they are
role models, because they are professionals and they are static's that
play outside the united state.

(1) What do you think about the whole Allen
Iverson Situation?
Allen and his wife need counseling and human therapy, because they
were having problems before and they need some help.
(2) Do you think that he needs to go to jail?
No, I don't think
he needs to be in jail but he may need some physcycological help therefore
jail is not the answer.
(3) Do you think that he should be suspended from the NBA and how
will his fans react?
I don't think he should be suspended because
he is an excellent ball player and his fans will be very upset.
(4) Do you think his behavior is reflective of today's athletes?
No
not really, because most athletes have high morals and also treat other
people with respect.
(5) Do you think athletes should be role models?
Yes, they should
be role models because a lot of young people look up to them and so
they should try to set good examples for them.

(1) What do you think about the whole Allen Iverson situation?
I think is really bad for a celebrity like him.
(2) Do you think that he needs to be in jail?
No, because he
didn't do nothing to his wife.
(3) Do you think that he should be suspended in the NBA and how
will his fans react?
I mean, if he get locked up it will affect his
game and his fans will not be happy because they have lost their star.
(4) Do you think that his behavior is reflective of today's athletes?
Yeah,
for the simple fact Allen is a good player and he can't act like an
outlaw and he also got kids looking up to him.
(5) Do you think athletes should be role models?
Yeah, but not
all of them, because kids that are not where they are look up to them.

(1) What do you think about the whole Allen Iverson?
I think
is stupid, because why did the cops stopped him? Because he had a gun,
or what?
(2) Do you think that he needs to go be in jail?
No, because
first that's his own property and he has a job and I know he doesn't
want to get fired and he would not kill his wife.
(3) Do you that he should be suspended from the NBA and how will
his fans react?
No, hell no, first of all that is his business and
I think his fans will be up -set and most of them will feel the way
I am feeling right now.
(4) Do you think that his behavior is reflective of today's athletes?
No
because he wasn't doing any wrong and everyone gets into argument
(5) Do you think athletes should be role models?
Yes because
sometimes, people don't have nothing to do in life and people look up
to them and start practicing what they are doing.
