HAS THE NFL RUN AMUCK ????

[lzuperku]

In a sport that is as popular as the NFL is, its truly amazing to me that these overpaid so-called "Role models" have no concept of their importance to the youth of America &. the world.

Tank" Johnson," Pacman" Jones, Chris Henry, Mike Vick ...
The list goes on.

You already know the names & the stories.

Even an Assistant coach for the Steelers sent a sexually explicit video to several NFL people. one of which was the comissioner! It was accidental granted ,but you have to wonder...

WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE THINKING!?????????

These are supposed to be college graduates, at least for the most part, but they sure dont act like it.

Thank goodness for the breath of fresh air the new comissioner has brought.

it was long long overdue.

For too many years this childish behaviour was tolerated, now finally Comissioner Goodell is taking the proper steps to try to regain control of the league.

I hope for my sake & everyone else's sake He does.

First off Mike you have absolutely nothing to back up that statement with.

But as far as rolemodels for our children. Well then just lump all sports figures into that category. Musicians as well! Why are they role models?? News exposure? I can sit here all day and point out why none of these overpaid people deserve that claim. But since this is about the NFL ok. I think the term role model is thrown out there to make any persons point of these peoples character. Exactly who was the role models for these role models?

Brett Favre- Did he influence Vick? i like what the commissioner is trying to do. Where else in the world can you do almost anything without inpunity! The players association basically will handcuff the NFL if they perceive that the league is hurting its players unfairly. But if you were a NFL HOFer would you want some of these clowns mentioned in the same breathe as the NFL which you helped to become what it has? I'm not even talking about the really dumb guys either we all know their names: Clarett & Carruth to name some.
But these guys like Henry that in my opinion doesn't care what anyone thinks don't belong. They are cancerious. But then it brings up guys like Terrell Owens who is a one man team wrecker! He truely cares for no one but himself and will tell the world.

I'm hoping the commissioner lays down the law and starts to make examples by banning for life these guys that care only for the payday and all else be damned.

I agree with what the NFL commisioner is doing by suspending these players who are getting into trouble...These players are being paid millions of dollars to play football and when they get into the trouble they do it not only makes the teams they play for look bad but the league itself...These troublemakers are only tarnishing the name of the NFL and it is about time someone steps up and puts these players in their place by suspending them and showing them this behavior wont be tolerated

I agree with most of what the commish has done...my only complain would be Pacmans as he hasnt been charged officially with anything...and if he isnt...or if he is...well in my view Vick better be suspended for a year + too because I feel Vicks actions are worse then Pacmans...

dont need anything to back it up with? his actions speak for himself i think what hes doing is crap, shouldnt take away somones ability to have a job and support his family and thats what hes doing:thumb:

Seems to me the players did that themselves when they embarrassed the NFL & got in trouble.

I agree Leo. Isn't it funny you try to defend a guy that probably got a free education and tons of money to play a game! Plus last time I checked criminals should be in jail, not suspended from their job! Let's also not forget the little gunfight that involved "Pacman" left an innocent bystander unable to walk for LIFE!!!!!!!!

[lzuperku]

You know even if noone got injured,someone like PacMan especially who continues to put himself in embarrassing situations. shouldn't be allowed to be an NFL player.

so why is it that the NFLPA was in favor of the suspensions/disciplinary measures taken? only recently has their been a stir that the Pacman suspension is too long. The players want the trouble makers out, so that they are setting a stereotype for all, you couldnt be more wrong on this one...but hey...theres a shock...your wrong on most things. :sign0020:
