Oli,

Sports fans are hypocrites when it comes to your point about criminal element in sports and football.
I'm on a Giants forum and I've heard that exact sentiment expressed numerous times. A few weeks ago, our kicker,Josh Brown, was released after it became public that he repeatedly abused his wife.
If abusing your wife multiple times isn't thug behavior, I don't know what is.

Nary a word about it on that Giants forum and he was a marginal player,really. If he were a star player he'd still be playing. The next time somebody on that forum writes about criminal element in the league, it will hard to take them seriously.
