Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous. Mediated Communication #4

Here we go again. I came across this little gem on MSN.com. Yet another person better off than most decided to steal. If you play for the NFL clearly one could afford the item stolen. Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randall was arrested for stealing cologne from a local Dillards. It is what it is.  However, I am more interested in the closing statement of the report. "Randle had arguably his best game as a pro against the Seahawks on Sunday, so this couldn't have happened at a worse time for him from a professional standpoint."  Happened? Happened?  Don't things like accidents happen? Things out or our control happen ,weather, taxes and death etc.  This is something he chose to do.  It is highly unlikely the cologne just happened to fall into his pocket.  He consciously made the decision to not pay for the cologne and try to get a five finger discount.  Definitely some fallacy going on here, not only with the actions of the player but, some in the reporting as well.
