When I sit down and think of an ethical situation I have encountered lately, I think back to a few years ago. This was my rookie season in the NFL and I was a member of the Oakland Raiders. Each year towards the end of the season, it is expected of the rookies of that season to throw a end of the year party for his position group, known as "rookie night." I had heard about this tradition and was pretty skeptical about it because I had heard of the horror stories of what occurred at the parties. In addition, I had heard of the money that was spent to entertain the fellow teammates for an evening of fun. Well, on the last week of the season it was my turn throw my fellow linebackers a lavish party. I began to be worried that I could be put in some awkward positions that would test my morals and ethics. The night began pretty relaxed as we went to a Golden State Warriors basketball game. I paid for the catered food and enjoyed the game with them. After the game is where I was first tested. We were headed to a club when one of my teammates mentioned that they were going to need my credit card to open a tab for them to drink. I have been taught my whole life that drinking is not acceptable and against my morals and beliefs. This is something I struggled with internally, to basically provide alchol to friends of mine at my own expense. After much thought, I decided to do it, but to not participate in it. I felt awkward the rest of the evening as I continued to buy bottles of champagne and liquor for others. After the club I was then tested again when my teammates wanted to extend the evening by participating in immoral activities. This is where I drew the line and told them i would accompany then. At first I was a little embarrassed to tell them I wouldn't be joining them, but I was then immediately satisfied to know that I did not rest on my morals, despite the pressure. These two instances on that one particular evening, were two moral and ethical dilemmas that I have since looked back on glad that I acted the way I did under those circumstances.
