I don't know that we need thugs so much as players willing to lay punishment against other teams when they try to play thug against us and coaches willing to go along with that.
The term thug is tossed around a bit too much anyway. 
As a young man I hung out with real thugs. I'm not proud of it, but they're all far cry from the likes of hard nose football players.
Real thugs tend to go to prison for long periods of time. Football players not so much. 
The truth of the matter is very few guys pursue football as a way to improve society as a whole. No team ever recruited a player just because little boys and girls will want to grow up and become pillars of society. If they recruited thugs the only place football players would come from would be maximum security prisons, certainly not institutions of higher learning. 

.....but ya gotta wonder....how many would be in prisons if not for football.  Some guys get in trouble while playing, others fall after the game as it is.  Look at guys like Rae Carruth, Ray Lewis, Aaron Hernandez, Ryan Leaf, etc.  Some guys are saved from the wrong path because of football.
