His excuse was “He couldn’t be bothered”.
In reality, they steal because they feel they are entitled to the goods. Sticking it to the store is just their revenge for being bothered to have to lower themselves to make a purchase.
The Cowboys were paying him a huge amount of money to not steal things and he couldn’t abide by that.
Ok, well he has his excuse, and he is a member of an officially recognized grievance group, so all is forgiven.
I bet he’s been coddled all his life because of being a star athlete.
