[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634811, member: 1550"] Sig, I agree. I did not mean most athletes are like this. They aren't. My daughter is an athlete and sports have been great for her. There are, of course, many people in all professions who are scum. However, they are not role models for children, either. And you can fire people for any reason in any job so they can be fired if the company thinks their morals are not up to snuff. Heck, this happened at Goodwill Friday. We were all stunned as the lady had been at Goodwill for twenty years and we are not sure exactly what she did wrong. The problem I have is when they can get away with it with little consequences. As the teachers here have said, they have morality clauses. Perhaps those in the limelight, especially who impact little kids, should have strict morality clauses in them too. I don't remember Mark Chmurra's case and wonder if he got canned after whatever happened. For the most part, the Packers do not tend to have criminals nor court troublemakers. If they did, I would be very disappointed. If one of our guys, nobody whom, hurt a child on purpose or battered his wife in public and showed no remorse, I'd rethink if I could support the organization. Thanks for your post. I appreciate your very true clarification. [/QUOTE]
