We lose heavily in the court of public opinion. Now throw the issue of "player safety" on the tail end of reasonable, what Judge or jury is going to say a suspension is unreasonable. Termination... maybe. You get a Judge or jury that think football is a barbaric sport and there is nothing unreasonable when it comes to making the game safer.... Its how you spin it my friend, and this is soooo easily spun out of our favor. Please do not misconstrue any of my comments or postings. I am playing devils advocate because that is the only way to fully understand which route or obstacles could come up. I have absolutely NO problem with bounty programs.. None, zilch, nada... if you are going to tell me 10k is going to make someone that makes 1M a year preform better ill tell you we just made the jump to ludicrous speed. If you are going to tell me that only 4 players in the NFL are guilty, we just made the jump to double ludicrous speed. if you are going to tell me that Harrison, Suh, or LT need $ to try to take a QB out of the game.... Well that's just crazy talk. |
