ATHLETES IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW: JOURNALISTIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE RESENTFUL FAN DAVID RAY PAPKE* Sports have evolved in the course of American history from local folk games to highly organized commercial enterprises in which team owners, players, broadcasters, and marketers of sports products can liter- ally earn millions.1 The increasingly sophisticated dissemination of sports news has been an important part of the evolution of sports.
