true...or how many of the wives get the Kobe Bryant prize.... a big diamond ring... of course the women that go that route I feel just encourage this kind of thing by doing that... imho
What was it that came out recently about pro-sports marriages, something like 90 percent of the players were unfaithful?
(It was during all the baseball/steriod bru ha ha)
Again, any woman who marries a sports star, a musician in a rock band or anyone with the last name of Kennedy shouldn't expect fidelity.
Sad, but true. The Kennedy thing is funny, but also true :)
or they expect it, so they have an attorney on a short leash..
No kidding. As if an "I'm sorry", and a big jewel will make everything all better.
I'm with you. See the tag line that I put up a few weeks ago after the SD MNF game.
A majority of those young women employees have done the acts they were witnessing, only in private. Undoubtedly they were offended but I doubt the young women were 'traumatized'.
Now if they'd been 8 or 9 years old instead of 18 or 19 that would be an entirely different thing.
Doing those acts, and we aren't even sure of the extent of those, in the proper setting is one thing. It could be entirely traumatizing when it is carried out in such a lewd manner and then couple that with feeling intimidated by these huge guys and their wild behavior. These young women had no way of knowing if they would be somehow taken in by these guys, given the craziness that supposedly was going on. They said they were scared.
You're right, O Holy One, they may have engaged in some of those acts. Willingly, with a man of their own choosing, in an appropriate location. Or maybe they were as pure in spirit as you are.
If, as reported, a young lady was blocked in behind a bar with a naked stripper laid out and being sampled by very large men, and being propositioned for lewd activities... well, I think it's reasonable that her reaction would go beyond "offended."
SOOOOOO glad that you just know whats going on in someone else head...
In that case read my mind... and then report what I thought about your post to the admin!
I can vouch for that!!! If the Pack is having a bad game the dog even finds a place to hide....
I, on the other hand, if the Pack is losing I just remind myself pain is only temporary Glory is forever... and the Pack has 12 championships total to prove it.... :)
I'm with you on basketball. I don't watch the NBA. This really won't affect my views of the NFL, because hey-I'm not a Vikings fan. Give me baseball and NASCAR.
Imagine...a bunch of pro athletes getting it on with a bunch of groupies.
Semi-tough, those Vikes.
I didn't do those things until I was married at 31. You have a dim view of morality. Plus, this was sex acts in public in an unexpected, inappropriate place and time. It is sick, and I'm sure it was traumatizing for the boat staff, as it would be for me if I had been there.
Their private lives are separate from their football lives.
What's the problem?
If that's the case, how many Super Bowls have they won?
Problem: the Vikings decided to shell a $10.8 million signing bonus to Fred Smoot, so placing him on the bench for his lack of morals isn't going to get them their money's worth.
I think if I owned that boat, I'd sue Smoot for every cent in his contract. I wonder if there was a morals clause in the contract. If so, he could possibly be forced to repay that money for breach of contract. Remember how the Miami Dolphins threatened to force Ricky Williams to pay back $8 million of his cash advance for retiring early?
Actually, I accept what is quantified and observed in the world around me as being 'reality', instead of accepting that reality is your imagined fantasy of 'How I wish it was and you better wish it was too, or else!'
The reality is, that the odds are those young women, who were working the bar on a party boat, have seen some porn, had various sexual experiences with partners of their choosing, use the pill and carry condoms. I seriously doubt they were traumatized by seeing another 1. That doesn't mean they liked what happened on the boat or wanted it to happen. If a football player made a pass at them, I doubt it was their first time and they weren't 'traumatized' by it. If the young woman didn't know how to handle an unwanted pass from a man then mom and dad failed in their upbringing. If, however, they were threatened by the football players that is a crime.
