I think you'll get your wish.

Here is the problem though: as we learned with Hunt some NFL team will pick him up and benefit from his skillset on the field.

Assuming his guilt (gotta love it), how is it a problem to be better than everyone else and not want that shit in/around your organization? That’s the problem, IMO.

Well definitely...but at the same time, there are guys who are just dipshits outside of football ( or sports or just simply their jobs ) but are excellent when playing ( and practicing ) it.

It's the balance of - OK he's going to help me win on the field but does his behavior off the field affect my team? And also is Baltimore going to pick him up as soon as I drop him?

( of note this is all questions for professional sports and i'd say shouldn't have been for college )

So, i'm kinda back on Rice's side now ( he has a bit more 'ah ok, there might be some reason here' ).
I hate the act of photography on unwilling participants.

If he was a professional photographer for a news/gossip/entertainment company or just some dude being nosy and snapping photos without Rice's permission, then, again my opinion, fuck that guy.

pdub wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 8:28 am There's two sides to me ( IF he did assault someone ).

Side 1: Do the right thing and cut this dude. He had a second chance and immediately blew it. He doesn't deserve another.

Side 2: The NFL is cutthroat. A ton of guys on these teams are shit stains in society. There is 0 chance that Rice, if cut, won't be utilized as soon as possible on another team. Watch to see how the NFL punishes him and maybe even cross your fingers it's a season long suspension b/c it won't count as a roster spot or against the cap and will absolutely influence a future extension.

If I'm running the org - it's side 1. No questions. Don't care if it hurts my team.
As a fan of a team in pro football, where I understand integrity is largely a sham, and we've already held onto a possible ( likely?? ) woman/child beater, and other teams have held onto players who have done far worse than what Rice has done, I lean 2, b/c I know Rice will instantly be picked up by another squad and I absolutely don't want that squad to be a contender.
