VigilantZombie Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Because if they intentionally hurt someone, theyre no better than that person. From the perspective of, they are professionals in an already dangerous sport. Whether the person deserves it or not, really is irrelevant.

SkippyX Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Vick is an interesting case. He was by his own admission a bad guy (he originally gave reasons but not excuses) He went to jail. He lost 10s of millions of dollars He expressed remorse and contrition and went out of his way to publicly support causes for animals (with respect to the limits of what he was allowed to do by law) He got picketed and protested and booed and called names even after all of that. There was zero need for Batman to go after him on the field. The same is true for Donte Stallworth and Leonard Little whether you agree with the degree and severity of their punishments.

He does thorough research and scouting to make absolutely sure his target is a bad guy. He might be executioner but at least he's also judge and jury. He does not kill people because his feelings based on how he was raised, who he was raised by, and who he has come into contact with, determine guilt through some kind of flawed logic based fake omniscience.

ThatJaxxenGuy Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Because two wrongs don’t make a right lol. NFL players would rather try to stay in the league rather than be the guy who blatantly tried to injure someone and got suspended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 3/17/2022 at 11:38 AM, DontTazeMeBro said: Myles Garrett tried. No one appreciated it. I would add to all of these responses that, while they may not all articulate it this way, most players realize that it's not really in any of their interests to set a precedent of meting out extrajudicial punishment to "bad people," particularly when there's no universal, objective definition for that. Maybe your question starts with sadistic animal abusers, but what about wife beaters? And if wife beaters, what about philanderers? And tax cheats? etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonStark Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 A lot of virtue signaling going on in this thread. That being said, you can't go out of your way to do it at your place of work unless you want to find yourself unemployed. That's the rest it doesn't happen in the NFL.
