Dallas Morning News item - November 9, 2005
What can Terrell Owens teach us about being a team player? Does the story ofthe NFL star suspended indefinitely for criticizing and fighting with histeammates hold a greater lesson for us in our homes, in our workplaces or inour communities?Terrell Owens petulance is indicative of the "me first" mentality that is often praised and very rarely condemned in our society. His misguided rantings allowed him to become an easy target for criticism. But we praise that behavior in corporate executives, Hollywood and athletes. The attitude of instant gratification is premised on accelerating monetary rewards for an individual ahead of any tangible accomplishment or sacrifice.
