Some of us are older and have been watching the NFL since we were kids. There hasn't always been this "thug" mentality in the NFL. Believe it or not, players in the NFL used to conduct themselves in a professional manner. They used to respect each other. Now we have this. With the fall of our society, so goes the game...and it's not just the NFL that's been taken over by the thug mentality, it also basketball and baseball too (and pretty much any sport with black athletes)...those of us who love the game have nowhere else to turn...and I'm sorry, because someone is going to bring it up, but college and high school football, while fun to watch, is just not the same as the pros...

That's complete [censored]. I remember Joe Green body slamming a QB and I remember Jim McMannon from the Bears getting slammed. Both of those effected the career of the QB. Bill Romanoski spit in the face of a player. Let me do research, and I'm sure I could come up with a list of thug like behavior from the 70s and 80s. Football is an emotional and physical game.

What's funny, is there was a thread from a year or so ago calling Richard Sherman a thug for trash talking. Call me crazy, but the definition of thug keeps changing........

What he did was uncalled for, he got out of hand, he knows that, and he's being punished. Can we stop crucifying the guy?

You don't need x-ray vision to see thru GMAV's intentions.

And Conrad Dolbler bit like a pitbull, he and Dan Diedorf poked eye's and bite fingers all game long. IMO the NFL is now NBA on crack.

Deacon Jones, **** Butkus, Jack Lambert, Jack Tatum, Conrad Dobler, Lyle Alzado, Matt Millen, Chuck Cecil, Jack Youngblood, Alex Karras, Randy White, and Ray Nischke are a few players from yesteryear that were dirty.


I don't understand why people try and give examples why somehow back in the day people were more honorable. A guess could be an inferiority complex?

More like a supremacy complex.

Nothing like a romantic racist rant to start your day.

It was on the nightly network news, which I do occasionally watch.
Every freaking channel had this story on it.

Josh Norman later grabbed the bat and swung it in pregame warmups, which an NFL Films camera captured. Beckham, according to another source, felt threatened."

Deion Sanders apparently said Norman called Odell a [censored] slur and would end his career.

While apparently motioning the bat.

Norman's twitter response was so classy also.


Except MANY other teams do the SAME thing by carrying bats on the field as motivational tool.

The NFL reminds me of this....

 

[dave1251]

Most players don't swing bats at other players stating they will end their careers. You need to get back to your studies.

Ha!! What would this agenda be? Please explain because I would like to know how 'he's got his number.' Sometimes you should just say nothing at all.

Now, take a look at Johnny Unitas. There was a haircut you could set your watch to.

Beckham went over the line with his antics, and has been assessed a one game suspension. The game will carry on in his absence (assuming he doesn't get a stay from the governor at today's meeting) and continue to be closely followed by the many, many millions of devout fans across the land.
