Unsportsmanlike Conduct: 15 Professional Athletes Turned Into Murderers

By William Webb

Professional athletes are often celebrated as role models, admired for their talent, discipline, and dedication to their sport. But behind the fame and success, some of these figures lived darker lives-lives that spiraled into violence and murder.

This book explores fifteen chilling cases of athletes who crossed the line from competition to crime. Their stories reveal how anger, jealousy, greed, or desperation can destroy not only careers, but lives. Some were household names at the height of their success, others were struggling on the fringes of their sport. What united them was a capacity for violence that shocked fans and forever changed the way we view the idea of the "sports hero."

Among these pages are accounts of athletes who plotted killings, those who acted in sudden bursts of rage, and those whose reputations crumbled under the weight of their crimes. From courtroom drama to the haunting aftermath, each case raises troubling questions about celebrity, responsibility, and the human capacity for violence.
