Moral of story, tell Ron Artest to put on his Armani suit next time he decides to run into the stands to start a fight, he'll be better respected
The only part I don't understand about your post is why you are ignoring the fact that if the person in the clothes doesn't change his attitude, it will do nothing for changing the image of the league. The only people who may percieve a change are the one's who rarely watch the sport, and on the rare occassion when they do see players on TV, they are dressed nicely. If fans are gathered to greet the players as they arrive to the arena and ask for autographs and get the cold shoulder, they will be percieved as azzes no matter if they're in a custom made suit or baggy jeans and a T shirt. A prick is a prick no matter how he's dressed. Get it? Cleaning up the image of the league is a matter of character, not clothes. You act like people are gonna be impressed more by these guys looking good versus being good.
