Really? Your office cares what you do in your office hours? They dictate what you can and can't do once you're off the clock? They can fire you even if you come into work every day on time and perform at an above average level (last season, Pacman Jones was better than all three Cardinals cornerbacks put together)?
Is Pacman a guy that I'd like to put up in my house? Of course not. Does he deserve this punishment? Heck, no. This is a white league trying to send a message to its players that they can't be as black as they wanna be. The NFL is telling its players that the League will not turn into the NBA.
It's a real shame that you get punished harder by the NFL for hanging out with the wrong people on your own time than if you stomp on an unprotected player's noggin in front of 65,000 people.
Lay off the pipe for a minute please! You and I have never seen eye to eye but this tops all others. How could you possible condone this peice of trash's behavior?
Yes, my employer cares as to whether or not I am a criminal. Your's really doesn't? The only jobs I know of that dont care about records and rap sheets are construction and fast food.
Furthermore, how dare you racially profile black people as criminials. "This is a while league trying to send a message to its players that they can't be as black as they wanna be" is one of the most ignorantly ******** things I have ever heard! Since when did commiting crimes make you black? So what you're implying is that black people are all criminals and white people aren't? C'mon you cant possibly be serious here.
Why would the NFL ever be eager to have the problems associated with the NBA and it's current poor reputation? Do you honestly think that the NBA wants that rep? Are you aware that they are having trouble finding a city willing to host their All-Star game next year due to all of the negativity surrounding this years game?
And for the record, they took harsher action against him than they did with Haynesworth because PacMan has made this type of behavior a pattern. It is the same as real life court bud. Say you have two guys charged with assault. Guy #1 did way more damage to his victim than Guy#2, but Guy#2 has been charged (convictions aren't even neccessary here) with assault 3 prior times. Who do you think the judge gives more time too? Society doesn't want this type of behavior to be prevelant amongst supposed role models for children. Why is it wrong to want people to act civilized. Furthermore, why is it wrong to expect decent behavior from privaledged people? That's right, the NFL is not a right to the gifted. It is a privaledge to the hard-working and dedicated who are willing to sacrifice. Thusfar his actions have shown that Pacman is not one of those people and the NFL was 1000% right in their action against him.
Hopefully this will be a "rock bottom" wake up call for him to change his way of life.
