I've called up to radio stations and said that the thugishness in the NFL is damaging their product, and they just laugh me off. The NFL has had a pretty bad image problem ever since a guy with a double homicide charge became a "marquee" player for them.
This will really help.
The NFL has had a pretty bad image problem ever since a guy with a double homicide charge became a "marquee" player for them.I see this rubbing off on youth sports...not the murder, but the fighting, smack talking, show boating and a general lack of hard work and fundamentals. Youth coaches even reward the punks.
