Lawrence Taylor was arrested last week for raping a prostituute in New York. He is accused of assaulting a 16 year old girl who had been forced to be a prostitute by a man named Rasheed Davis. Davis drove her to Taylor's hotel room, but she managed to text her uncle the details of the situation on the drive to the hotel. Her uncle called the police and they caught Davis and Taylor. Taylor got out on bail and claims that he didn't have sex with her. The article goes on to decribe the highlights of Taylor's Hall Of Fame NFL career and his multiple arrests for drug use and tax evasion since the mid 90's.
I chose this article because I like Lawrence Taylor as a football player because he was one of the best players of all time. I also chose it because professional sports stars are constantly in thenews for their wrongdoings. They are gifted with exceptional skill and are able to do what they love for fame and appraisal. They are obliged to do the right thing as role models for the community becuase they are some of the most recognizable figures on the planet. The article was well written, in my opinion because it wasn't biased and simply showed the facts. I didn't enjoy the article because it's about a terrible crime. It interested me to hear that a Hall Of Fame football player would do that.
