By cutting him, they also send a message to the rest of the team that repeated off-field immaturity and stupidity won't be tolerated.
Great points. This is a brutal decision from a PR standpoint but apparently they couldn't care less. I still hear "Bengals are thugs" jokes like its 2006. People don't forget. In the eyes of many casual sports fans, we are still notorious "thug enablers". Don't believe me, check out Twitter on the Pacman issue. The team is being ripped to shreds because they "never learn" and "Ought a trade in those orange uniforms for prison clothes". And you know what's sad? They're not wrong. It's embarrassing. It gets harder and harder to defend this franchise. There's very little I can say in their favor these days.
