[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 634810"] I am trying to write this as kindly as possible. I think you are unfairly categorizing the NFL staff & players based upon the actions of Goodell, Rice, & Peterson. I think it's very dangerous to paint an entire industry or profession - be it police officers or football players or anything else - based upon the actions of some. I absolutely condemn Rice & Peterson for their abuse and Godell for trying to sweep it under the rug. But let's be clear- if Rice or Peterson worked a regular job- they could not and would not be fired for their actions until there was a conclusion of law - a guilty verdict. And there are plenty of heinous abusers working among us all. I am not excusing of defending those abusive %{ @;$/{]** ! But they are in all walks of life and more likely to get away with it in a regular job. I bet plenty of women have been abused by their spouses or significant others in elevators. We've only heard about Rice's wife. How many surveillance tapes are simply ignored? As for the Green Bay packers being "classy", I bet the teenage girl who was sexually assaulted by Mark Chmurra would disagree. by the way it's also the NFL who have activated the rightfully cut Bengals player - because they found out his 5 yo daughter has serious cancer and he needs his insurance and income. His jersey is now the #1 best selling jersey in the NFL and the proceeds benefit childhood cancer treatment. The SAINTS head coach personally bought 100 of them. We all were outraged when Adam Lanza's aspergers was correlated with Newton murders. We knew he was a killer who happened to have Aspergers. Same way rice & Peterson are disgusting abusers who happen to be football players. [/QUOTE]
