Our country teaches people its ok to dehumanize a group of people by labeling them as something thats seen as wrong. (ie terrorists, communists, thugs, etc). I'm strongly against this since its the 1st step to genocide and a great foundation of hate. Its a great way to mislead people into thinking someone is less of a human and deserves lesser treatment because of the label. Funny you use the word crusade to define my opinions on fair punishment for the violation of league rules when Goodell is on a crusade to clean up the players acts off the field not so much the cheating that players and coaches do on it.
NFL is over stepping its grounds to punish 'thugs' but letting the Good Ol' Boys Patriots slide. Dude is a fool for getting into trouble over and over again but you can't hang em high like some people still believe.
Besides, in a weird conspiracy theory type way I thought the whole thing was rigged since the Patriots won out of no where the same year as 9/11. Especially after the Tuck rule... talk about changing the rules to justify a bad call.

Listen, I understand what you mean by labeling leads to prejudice. But theres something fishy about a dude gettign in 12 run ins with the law in 2 years. The reason I call him a thug is because he can't seem to stay out of trouble. Not all people who do bad things are bad people. He just needs some serious help and councelling.

heh...and you act like you've lived with a curse... Try being a Cowboys fan.

Yeah it is hard being a cowboys fan, but recently, being a pats fan is really tough. If you stick around, you'll see there's a lot of smack against the boys and pats, and for reasons we all know.
