Sharper nominated for HOF

After reading the HOF's official mission statement, I redact my previous post. He shouldn't get in. Part of the qualifications are the values of the game.

That being said, I don't think being honored by the NFL means as much as it used to anymore either.

Its idol worship. I love the game. I could not care less who's name is on the back of the jersey.

If I had an all expense paid trip to Canton I probably wouldn't even go.

The shame is that we don't even have any idea what this means anymore.
At least in the past we had illusions about our heroes.
They may not have been perfect but we could honor their athletic accomplishments.
There is more transparency in cases like Rice, OJ, Sharper and the like.
That is a good thing.
But, the micro-aggression mindset and the social justice propping up of things like the Kaepernick deal don't equate and makes me sad.
I guess when a deserter, Bradley Manning, gets a Rose Garden homecoming?
We shouldn't be surprised that our sports leagues don't resemble traditional United States Of America values or give us much to honor these days.
Thank for the post Will.
