#2 He was a product of his "professional" environment, fame, and the media. Modern day gladiators, enslaved to drugs and trained in the destruction of their fellow, whilst cheered on by gambling, drunken revelers in massive coloseums built by taxes. It is no longer a game but a device of revenue sans pillared mansions and the lash.

#3 I think that's a bit harsh, Besoeker. Lots of people who never played in the NFL have committed murder and gotten away with it. Simpson went off the rails but most of them don't and when they do the law applies equally to them. Michael Vick, as you may recall, went to jail for his participation in dog fighting. Football is a sport like any other. Unlike many of the other sports it is big and it is rich but this is a big, rich country. It is a violent sport but a lot of rules have been enacted to protect the players from some of the nastier things that they might otherwise do to each other. In fact, the NFL has done a lot more to clean itself than a lot of other professional sports leagues. The players take regular drug tests and they are punished if those test results are positive. What would you rather watch when you turn on the television? Glee? Please, please don't take televised football games away from me.

#6 Ima thinking Ebbang's response was spot on, actually. Mice elf, I don't watch much of anything but football and the occasional movie on the tube/flat screen thingy.
