NFL Sends Loud Message With Pacman Suspension

Submitted by keith, Apr 11, 2007 14:38

I think it's about time the NFL finally does something to these players they put on national tv as role models to young kids that partake in this dysfunctional behavior. Furthermore it's time to let these young men know just because they have talent and now make hundreds of thousands of dollars, and millions in some cases, does not give them a right to act a fool and make a spectical of themselves. They have a responsibility to the public to conduct themselves in a professional manner not to mention a moral obligation to themselves and the teams they represent. I support this decision 100%.
