I, I, I.................. Well, with all the head trauma associated with the nfl, maybe just requiring all nfl players to disarm would be the thing to do. After all, it's for social responsibility and that would be a fine example. Right.

A lot of members of the National Felons League shouldn’t mess with firearms.

Why hasn’t the NBA done this?

After Burress accidentally shot himself with an unregistered gun they probably should have put this in the rookie symposium immediately. It’s all about avoiding bad press, and there’ve been a few incidents.

The list is too long for most of the players to comprehend. Enforcing a short list of drugs, alcohol and beating your wife/gf would solve a lot of their problems.

"We've never presented the issue from a social responsibility perspective before," said Anna Isaacson, the NFL's vice president of social responsibility. "These were crucial societal issues that people just didn't know enough about, and we felt that it was our duty, and it was the right thing to do, to make sure that everyone in the NFL family had the same knowledge, so that we were all on an even playing field and we all had the same information."The NFL made a Social Justice warrior a vice president...

Wonder what is the per capita murder and aggravated assault/battery rate in the NFL. It has to be orders of magnitude above the civilized world.

Why hasnt the NBA done this? Good question since probably most of the players are prohibited persons.

If they are trying to teach them things their parents should have taught them that’s not in and of itself a bad thing. But is that what they are doing?

Do not hold your gun sideways just because that’s the way it came out of the box.

This is why I haven’t watched a National Felon League game in years and do not miss it one iota.

I liked the way you drew a distinction between the NFL and the civilized world.

Let’s look at this much more simply...
These people earn a guaranteed minimum base salary of $450,000. Every one of them is a college graduate.
The fact that such things need to mandated training for half-millionaire college graduates is unspeakably pathetic. They, after FOUR YEARS of college education, should be a foregone conclusion.
Unless everyone starts admitting that football and basketball athletes are, in unthinkably massive numbers, being handed a degree that proves nothing except the ability to throw, kick, or catch a ball.
Until universities are held accountable for graduating people who couldn’t pass even a high school competency exam, and having their accreditation yanked for conferring a degree on a person not passing, pro sports will have to mandate training for such basic tasks.
But then, who would “protect the program”?
To: rktman
Beyond this stupid Gun thing, you have a room full of Multi Millionaire Grown Men sitting in a room being told how to act in a Civil Society?
