But clearly you don't, so i can't just assume everyone is abusing women driving drunk and so on and so forth.
I didn't remove myself for rooting for the team, but i vocally opposed keeping those players on the team.
It's not about mental maturity, it's about having a conscience enough to notice their profession is very menial in the grand scheme of things. They play a silly game, which has zero effect on society whatsoever. So knowing that, i can choose to be vocally opposed to said players and also not root for them when they do well.
I was super excited when they both got released, i`m glad we're finally showing some responsibility in who we employ, but then they sign Jerome Simpson. I know sports will always work in a certain way, but it's a fans responsibility to advocate and speak up about these types of things, just my opinion. It will eventually make the game and the league a better place.
If Gred Hardy never played a down again, it would do nothing to hurt the game at all, and would actually let people know this type of stuff isn't tolerated. Now i`m not saying suspend him for life, i said i`m fine with how this all played out, i think he should have served 10 games, but whatever it's done now.
I just hope one day we don't have to hear about this type of stuff as often, so i don't have to explain to my daughter why someone who threatened to kill, choked and slammed a woman is making 10m a year and is supported by this sport.
