I don't know how anyone can see that video and think that's ok. I don't know how anyone could try and defend the behavior. Best (or worst) case, maybe you try to claim he's can become a better person, or maybe you just don't care about character off the field, on the field. At least that's honest. But to pretend like this guy isn't a complete scumbag for doing that, c'mon. Spare me.
You know it was a disgusting act, I know it was a disgusting act. We all know. Let's not all pretend like it was something it wasn't. Some people care more about on the field results than having a decent human beings representing their city and team. And that's their choice, which is ok, but just be honest about it. And some fans allow their love of their team to cloud their judgement. They will support or excuse behaviors surrounding their team that they normally wouldn't in real life. Hey, it happens.
But don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. Don't pretend like you can watch that video and think that's an acceptable response. And if for some reason, you truly watch that and think "That ***** had it coming" then I feel sorry for you, and even more for those who have the misfortune of being around you.
What I find somewhat amusing is how much some are surprised that their are fans who are against this scumbag entering the league. This after Ray Rice was essentially blackballed from the league. Like it's a surprise that this shit is frowned upon.
In 2017 people boycott businesses over the dumbest things. Spandex pants only go up to certain size = fat shaming, public outcry. Chic Fil-a CEO personal political beliefs (not company's) don't coincide with that of the most vocal = outrage. Pepsi makes a stupid commercial, etc, etc. People go bananas every day over the smallest, most stupid things. Many times their offended on behalf of people who aren't offended.
Yet despite all of this, which we've all seen, people openly mock those who claim they will pull support from a business who employees someone who knocked out a teenage girl in the middle of a public establishment. To the point of her needing 8 hours of surgery. Things like Youtube comments split many times down the middle on this event.
Cheerios only has one Asian in the commercial and they used a gender pronoun!!! Burn them at the stake. I understand the boycott. Guy knock a girl out cold for shoving him, what's the big deal? I mean, WTF is wrong with 2017? If you want something to be truly upset about, let the league know this isn't ok.
Keep this piece of human garbage off our team!!!
