The notion that football players actually represent a city more than say...mayor or anyone else for that matter is a flawed notion. They certainly don't set city policy unless they are actually elected like one former player, but very few take it to that level.
Jones is Jones. I don't really care what comes out of his mouth most times and occasionally I actually agree with his assessment although not all of it.
The fact of the matter is he's paid to put warm butts in cold seats during games and he does just that. Nobody would pay for a ticket to listen to his post game rants and if they did..well..enjoy it..
Football players in large part are very aggressive and violent people and we somehow expect them to become diplomatic right after going an hour or so through a game? Look, he's not running for president and his locker room banter shouldn't be more scrutinized more than say...a presidential candidate.
