Why does the NFL or any sport suddenly need morals?
For a hundred years players have beaten their wives, beaten their kids, drove drunk, gotten into fights and otherwise not been good citizens
Up till now, we have allowed the law to take care of them and they have been allowed to play as long as they are not in jail
Now, all of a sudden, we demand moral purity out of our athletes. They have to be heroes on and off the field. I think we are asking something they cannot deliver
