The All Too Typical Pro American Athlete Of Today

This sad saga below demonstrates what we now have permeating pro sports and celebrity; an era where athletes simply think they are above and beyond the laws that the rest of us must adhere to day in and day out more than ever. And no matter which ones they break and to what magnitude, in this case aggravated vehicular manslaughter, they are impervious to the laws of the land because their obscene wealth simply allows them to overcome almost any situations that may arise as a result of their churlish and often borderline inhumane behavior.

Here's a story of a NY Yankee pitcher who kills a woman while allegedly drunk off his a** and at the scene besides failing the sobriety tests he seemingly could give a damn about the consequences of his actions judging from his videotaped behavior for all to see:

Video of DUI test shows former Yankee Jim Leyritz without remorse:

New York Daily News: "Fallen Yankees hero Jim Leyritz blamed the car wreck that killed a young mother in December on the victim - and showed no emotion when cops told him she was dead, a police video shows.

'I was hit, yes. I was shook up, yes,' a mumbling and remorseless Leyritz said after the late-night accident in Fort Lauderdale. 'She hit me pretty good.'

Later in the video, shot minutes after Leyritz crashed into Fredia Ann Veitch, 30, the hard-partying slugger merely nodded his head after he was told she died.

He said nothing.

Prosecutors said Leyritz, 44, was sloshed when he ran a red light and crashed his Ford Expedition SUV into Veitch's Mitsubishi Montero on Dec. 28.

Cops arrested the former Yankee slugger on DUI manslaughter charges after he was given three field sobriety tests." continued
