as far as whether or not he should be able to play football, i agree that it is a privilege, not a right. like herman edwards said, you don't own that jersey, you are renting it. when you are done, unless you did something amazing and they retire your jersey, they strip your name off and give it to the next guy.

will he play football again, unfortunately that's probable.

and on the second chance thing, like stated above, this would be more than a second chance.

my wife has two felonies, does she get a second chance? NO! but because some kid grew up only being football player he does? F-that. that paid a debt to society is CRAP! yes, that's the way it's supposed to be.....in a perfect world. that's not the case and everyone knows it.

i think we should go back to "an eye for an eye" mentality. screw spending billions on prisons. cut off limbs and poke out eyes. i guarantee the crime rate goes down.

sorry for the rant. is my opinion biased? NO! i'm a realist. the little people get sh!t on and the rich and famous get away with murder. the erosion of the middle class backs up my claim. oh wait, there is no more middle class.

and the bad part is all of the athletes are just pawns in a bigger scheme. capitalism makes me sick to my stomach. and so does this country. time for a change my friends.

again, sorry to get off topic. i just see all of this crap everyday and it pisses me off.
