FWIW, another fitting name- Nonprofit Felons League.

Again I agree.

Not like there is a double standard .....

Not like there is a double standard......

But how many saw this story on the news getting banged on the big drum.

U.S. Soccer Ripped For Letting Hope Solo -- Accused Of Domestic Violence -- Play On

http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dail...-national-team

"There is a growing clamor of media voices calling for an athlete accused of domestic violence to be pulled from competition until the case is resolved. But unlike the recent stories that have unfolded in the NFL, this time the call is for the U.S. women's national soccer team to suspend goalie Hope Solo...."

Down at the bottom John Smallwood wrote

"If you've ever attended a match played by the U.S. women's soccer team, you know thousands of girls in the stands scream in adoration. Their passion for their female soccer heroes is as intense as that for any NFL player. Solo is one of the USA's biggest stars, and kids are drawn to her. .."

She is a train wreck. I hear more and more kids and parents talking about her stunts and her appeal seems to be in the decline.

Is it okay if I still like football? Yes. Yes it is. Especially after a nail bitter Seahawks game against Denver. We (okay, they) aren't looking like the Superbowl champs. This will be an interesting season, felons aside.

It happened off the field. The police and the District Attorney have already dealt with it. He should be playing. The NFL should only worry about what happens on the field. Deal with it.
