Suns Guard Jason Richardson Arrested for Driving 90 with Son

Yes, you read that correctly: one of the charges was failure to use a child seat. So Jason Richardson was driving 55 MPH above the speed limit while his 3-year-old son was unrestrained in the back seat.

This incident by Jason Richardson is just the latest in what seems to be an endless string of events in which athletes feel they are not only above the law, but better than the rest of us. Of course, it's not just athletes; it's any highly paid celeb (actors, actresses, sports figures, millionaires). Since they are so much richer than us, we know they are better than us, right?

I mean, the lack of common sense shown by Jason Richardson should have no bearing on it, right?

Jason Richardson was cited in December, less than two weeks after being traded to Phoenix from Charlotte, on suspicion of DUI.

At the time, Richardson called the incident "one stupid mistake I made," and he said he hoped it wouldn't change the public's perception of him.

Uh, huh. Well, maybe this will.
