My OJ Simpson comment was obviously tongue-in-cheek. I just can't stand when fanbases think that keeping players out of trouble is some sort of organizational skill when most owners/coaches are fixated on football and don't care much about life. Last I checked, "Tyrel Dodson's girlfriend accused him of hurting her, hitting her, breaking her door, and shoving her against the wall, and hitting her across the face, and stealing cash." He is still on the Bills, yes? Okay then. 

 

To your question, there is a note that Andy Reid keeps on his desk. Per John Harbaugh, it's always been there dating back to his time with the Eagles. It says simply "Don't judge." I don't know any of these players on any intimate level. None of us do. As stated, there are upwards of 50+ NFL player arrests per year. I can only imagine how many go unreported. These are young athletes who in many cases come from tough backgrounds, with no real support system in place, and a pile of life-changing cash sitting in their bank accounts. I cheer for Tyreek and I root for him to succeed. He started the Tyreek Hill Family Foundation, he has done youth football camps, and he's very involved in the KC community. A cynic could say, "He's doing all that for PR," and maybe that is true. But maybe he isn't?

 

I don't think people should be defined by their worst moment, particularly when those of us in the public have little knowledge of what actually happened behind closed doors. I say that for any player, including Tyreek, Dodson, Willie Gay, anyone. 


It’s a tough spot to be in as a fan.  You are right that you don’t know everyone’s situation. But you want to root for your guys, and then you end up finding out that they are abusing women. Do you still cheer hard for him? Your kid wants to wear a Hill jersey.  Do you let him?  
 

i am trying to think back to a situation where I have been in your shoes, and honestly can’t. (Dodson doesn’t really count, because no one even knew that about him, and he never plays).  
 

I think you must have to just ignore it as best as you can, I suppose. It’s tough— because while athletes aren’t role models, we, as fans, do still cheer and support them.

This was a rumor last evening. Facts are slowly leaking out. Some sort of domestic situation. Pretty tame by Chief standards. Not sure if they will have him out before the game. Stay tuned. 

Everyone knows fake nice guy Andy Reid loves a-//// holes,  so this will not be an issue for the the fat man

It's not tough at all. I watch the Chiefs and cheer for them to have success. Players and coaches. "Ignore it best I can?" No. You acknowledge that something happened, and that I don't know the full story, and probably never will, and suspend judgment. I have friends and family members who have done horrible things. I don't think it means they're irredeemable. I still cheer for them. Still support them. Still hope they grow as people. Still believe that they can.

Doesn’t the NFL takes action on domestic violence charges?  Maybe not til the facts come out?

 

 

 

Last time I checked a vacuum cleaner doesn't have the capability to press charges. You actually have to hit someone to be guilty of domestic violence. As in a person, not a vacuum cleaner.

Idk, I’m just going by what I read. 
 

“Charging documents state Gay damaged a vacuum cleaner, wall and door frame during a confrontation with a woman. It’s being classified as a domestic violence offense.”
