Honestly, I do.

I don't like any organization supporting and enabling those committing these crimes.

At the end of the day, it's just a game, and I really don't feel comfortable cheering on people who are better off in jail than on the playing field.

Now it's also not black and white, like because you don't want dudes doing all this dirt, doesn't mean you want a choir boy team either. There are some issues more acceptable than others to me.

Like as much as it sucks that we got no pass rush right now, i`m glad Aldon Smith aint out there and we're not further supporting his behavior.

These people are not role models man. This is a larger issue then sports. We think celebs owe us because there in the public eye.

No one said they are, and i`m not looking up to them nor would I ever have my child look up to them.

Where did I state they owe me anything? I ask nothing of these people.

But they are human beings, and we come to expect something of people. I can't root for someone who beats their wife.

Not you per se, but in general. Of course they should not be doing this, but we there is not much we can do aside harsher punishments, unless people in the USA grow a backbone and realize there is a life without sports.

Well it is actually happening, there is something we can do.

Ask owners and commissioners to take these actions seriously. It's starting to happen clearly.

They have to be consistent with it, not punish based on reaction. All four major league sports need to be consistent on punishment in general actually. But if you give someone 8 games, stick to the standard, no punishment based on reputations anymore.

I really don't care if your good enough to be on a team that's all that should matter. All other off the field antics are irrelevant to me.

So what you're saying is it's a black thing to root for athletes who beat wives, children and drive drunk?

That's the stupidest, most ignorant shyt i`ve ever heard.
