Weeekend Plans - Are You Ready For Some...

Funny that with a guy like Hernandez and a league full of thugs that Brady spreading his seed is what tipped the apple cart. Strange times indeed.

Jim - your call. Rooting for laundry is the only reason I still watch Football. I can find numerous worse issues I have with the NFL and players

The list of issues is endless. Thuggery, domestic violence, drugs, violence, womanizing...If we all stopped watching for one week, and told them why, they would fix it, in the next nanosecond. Because all they care about, is the money. If we told them no more money until it's cleaned up, it would be cleaned up. There was a time in our cultural history, and not all that long ago, when huge numbers of people would walk away, rather than root for guys who behave this way.

If we watch the games, go to the games, and buy the merchandise, you shouldn't complain about the behavior that is tolerated. You are funding it.

I can't get myself to root for laundry, when it's worn by someone who is morally bankrupt.

Funny if you had bothered to read my post, you'd see that dogfighting was what tipped the applecart for me. I used Brady, because (1) he is still playing, (2) I presume he is beloved here, as he plays for New England, and (3) I bet most people here root for him, despite the fact that he's a cheater who none of us would let him anywhere near our daughters.

Turn the TV off, throw a football with your kid instead, and while doing so, tell him the story of Pat Tillman, a genuine hero.
