Now, do I think he should have served more time - yes! Do I think he shouldn't be a role model for anyone - yes! Do I think he should be kept from earning a living - no! Not anymore than any other criminal out there. And, if football is his way of 'earning a living", and all he is trained for, what else would people have him do?

Like you I can see both sides.

because I dont think he deserves to make good money and live a lavish life style. I dont think a criminal shouldnt be able to work, but what he has done is sickening and he does not deserve the NFL!

THAT is actually my opinion on it too, believe it or not. I don't think he should be viewed as a role model either. I don't want him back in the NFL either and would never support a team that would have him. But that is just MY opinion. I don't think it's my place to dictate what company can hire him and which can't. As far as not wanting your children (theoretically speaking) to look up to someone like that...shouldn't that be the parent's job to instill those values in their child and teach them right from wrong? It's not the NFL's responsibility to instill values on the youth of America, that is something that comes from parenting.


You wouldn't be allowed because of the type of work you do. I personally don't think that he "got special treatment" because of who he is. He got a sentence a heck of a lot stricter that any average Joe would have gotten. People are convicted of the same crime frequently and get community service and a fine IF that even. Do I think the penalties for animal cruelty should be more harsh? You bet I do, for both the suffering the animals are subjected to AND because I think it masks a deeper, dangerous psychological issue. But they aren't as strict as they should be and per our justice system, he will have served his time and at that point should be free to re-enter the work force, whatever that may be. I'm confused by how he has been rewarded over all of this? :confused: He got and is getting what he deserves, fines, jail time, loss of property, a tarnished reputation, fired from his job and loss of his income from endorsements. Which is exactly what he deserves. If you feel that strongly about it, boycott the team that signs him, or boycott the NFL altogether.

Instead his high priced lawyers got him out!! I hope someone finds out where that disgusting Bast*rd is and does the same thing to him that he did to those poor dogs!!! The NFL won't listen to anything we say or think. All their concerned with is the $$ that worthless piece osf Sh*t will make for them. N.F.L. grow up!! Children watch those games and no parent in their right minds would want their kid to emulate that thing!! :thumbdown :mad: :thumbdown :mad:

I don't call abuse, bad.
Bad is when you answer back to a parent, or don't do homework,etc.
Abuse is criminal! He deserves to burn!

I won't support a team that will take him back because I just think he is a horrible person, but that doesn't mean he has no right to go back to his job.

JMO.
