Based on our class discussion and the Article "Bad Sports," discuss the following points and analyze the language of Mr. Newman's attorney:

3. How does Ms. Lewis-Newman's former carreer as an actress impact her credibility in the story?
4. How does the fact that Mr. Lewis has already been found guilty of assualting his wife impact your view on the matter?
5. What example is Mr. Newman's behavior setting for the team that he coaches?
