Bounty Exposes Tawdry Football Culture

I'm still in disbelief that after all thats been revealed someone can still think that this locker room bravado actually encourages any NFL player to take a cheap shot on another player with the intent on seriously injuring them, all for a few hundred bucks, which would be dwarfed by the $50,000 fine accompanying it.

Its locker room tough guy antics. If you can't see that then you don't know much about football.

Or any other (contact) sport for that matter.

Only the football ignorant think it.

The NFL knows better, but it has to build up this "we care about our players" image as it preps to get its pants sued off by disgruntled ex players.

Most (say most because there are a few write sensible things) writers know too, but they are all about being sensational. The need hits on their web site.

In my opinion this makes the NFL and the writers supporting it a bit lower on the 'moral' totem pole than even the Saints they are throwing under the bus. I blame people, because people are stupid.
