[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 582037, member: 5830"] As high-profile sports organizations on tv multiple times per week, the NFL/MLB/NHL/NBA image and their employees are much more notable than if I do something stupid. It's a part of what athletes are paid millions of dollars to do, it's to be on their best behavior per the contract. For my tastes, I'd rather have influential organizations take a stand so that ordinary Joe, who wouldn't normally face the same repercussions, thinks about it before laying a hand on his child, wife, girlfriend, etc. Like MTV of the 1980s, sports culture seems to drive our society these days. It certainly doesn't drive me but I'm not ignorant to the role these athletes play in the lives of many Americans. I'm satisfied with one of the many reasons given by the NFL - Peterson has shown no remorse nor has he tried to change his ways in a manner that is apparent to his employer. The NFL's actions are fine for my tastes. [/QUOTE]
