RE: 🏈Breakdown: Michael Floyd To Serve 1 Day In Jail For Failed Alcohol Test?🏈

in #sports7 years ago (edited)

Well to be honest I have not read about Floyd's case specifically in any detail because he's not playing for my team, so I do not care lol. I was speaking on principle and not on this specific case, although I did see where it was said that he has a troubled history. Anyway, normally I do not like regulations to be too severe either, but with these young athlete's you really have to be that way. Reason being that they get such a high magnitude of success at such a young age that some of them aren't really emotionally mature enough to handle it without getting into trouble. I'm not saying that is the case with all of them, but it is with enough of them for it to be a concern. I think the NFL is trying to look out for them and protect their investment. You have scumbags out there waiting to set these guys up in a bad situation so they can trap them in a court case and sue the crap out of them. How many times have we heard of one of these players being accused of rape and find out it was BS? It's a lot easier to set a guy up when he is drunk in public with witnesses, so going out drinking is really not the smartest thing for one of these players to do. The NFL has had an image problem in the past and they are trying very hard clean it up. When one of these players screws up it doesn't just affect the player it can affect the whole team, and the image of the entire league. The rewards these players get are huge, so there are some sacrifices that come with that. You gotta see the big picture. You can't just look at it like an average dude, you gotta see it from the perspective of a team of NFL attorneys lol.
