The NFL will lecture America on how bad Rush Limbaugh is...keeping him from having an ownership stake in a team...but looks the other way when their thug players extort money from others.

Oh, by the way...the NFL is also desperately seeking for a way to get some lineman to declare publicly his practice of sodomy, so that the league can celebrate that behavior, too. All part of being "inclusive", ya know.

Unless being inclusive means allowing outspoken conservatives a voice in ownership, not stealing from your teammates, and supporting traditional marriage.

This young lady is Fergie of the singing group Black Eyed Peas. That stain on her pants is her own urine, as she wet herself while performing.

She is part owner of the Miami Dolphins.

She is considered worthy of being an owner in the NFL.

Not Rush Limbaugh. I guess Rush has never publicly peed his pants, so he was excluded.

Lets put this all into prospective.

The owners are screwing older players by offering them less and less as they grow older and less capable.

The owners are screwing the fans by rigging up various cost packages at the stadium, the seating, the food, the beverages, the parking, and package of game tickets.

The local city councils are screwing the owners by refusing to pay for costly renovations or new stadiums.

The owners are screwing the cities by talking packing up and moving outside of the city, the county, and the state.

The junior players are getting screwed by their agents and dimwitted financial advisers.

The agents are getting screwed by stupid players who sign a big contract, but then turn around and do nothing for four years and can’t get another big contract ever again in their lives.

The fans are screwed by the teams over high-cost jackets, hats and coffins designed with the team logos.

The older retired players are screwed by the league and owners over head injury issues.

The list of the screwed goes on and on. What’s new exactly by this story?

Nothing in this makes sense...are these not grown men? If some jerk handed me a $30,000 tab that was not mine, I’d tell him him to go stuff it.

So it’s a full-pad scrimmage and the fellow next to you on the line “accidentally” is blocked over to the side of your knee and ‘pow’ in an instant your ACL is torn to pieces. Now you’re out for the season or forever. People who resist the bullying always seem to have accidents when they least expect it. Spending that amount of time with other grown men is not all roses and happy juice.

They may be grown, but these idiots are not men.

Yet half of America will sit catatonic in front of the boob tube all Sunday afternoons from September to January watching the games...

Same here, but we had to deal with this sort of crap the old fashioned way. Like my Father taught me, you have to stand up to bullies, go right after them! Jonathan Martin should have slugged Richie Incognito in the nose. I bet you Incognito would have backed right off. The coaching staff is at fault as well for allowing this sort of atmosphere to poison the team.

All professional Football players are Mercenaries.

I have never understood how fans get so fired up over team of mercenaries. They cheer for their city when no one from their city is playing.

If you want to see a good football game go out to your local High School.

I have never understood pro football. It is utterly boring, and it is not even fun to bet on. Why people get paid millions of dollars to run and jump, while contributing nothing of real value to society baffles me.

College football on the other hand, can be quite exciting.

You are absolutely correct...bullying stops when you bust that bully in the jaw

Conflict Resolution nonsense...equating the bully or offender with the victim...encourages bullying and violence

Also...there is a lack of control from the coaching staff

And the Dolphins ownership is pumping $$$ for Rick Scott’s re election campaign...the Governor will give the Fins a new stadium if re elected

All three FL NFL teams are Basket Cases...at least the Fins win a few

For a long time I've had this theory that most professional athletes -- no matter how much they're paid -- end up five years after the end of their career in the same financial condition they would have been if they had never signed a contract to play professional sports.

These players sound like a bunch of third graders who suddenly found $10 million in a bag of cash in the school yard and conspired to keep it to themselves rather than turn it over to the police.

I am glad I am not one of them. The endless sports keep the LIVs under control.

If I am tube viewing on a Sunday afternoon, it is ME-tv or BBC America.

Moral of the story: Do not support professional sports in any way; this includes buying anything from their sponsors.

I stopped watching professional sports years ago and go out of my way to not buy those products which are endorsed by sports “stars”.

Only in football do players, after being behind in the score 42-0, dance in the end zone after scoring.

No thanks.

You could give these guys $10 Billion each. And next year at this time they would be broke.

Don't know if you're aware of this but Fergie peeing herself is as a result of her prior Methamphetamine use - once again, proving your point. ;-)
