Rules and laws don't make violence violence. That's what rules and laws
were meant to prevent in the first place. IOW, "violence" pre-existed
the rules governing violence. In the case of football, violence is
permitted for the sake of sport. As you even acknowledge, it's an
identical action -- the difference is that one isn't prosecuted whereas
the other is. And that's important here. The players are paid to
perform the same actions that, in another arena, they would get in
trouble for. It's the external environment that's different, not the
action. So I think it's well within their ability and tendencies to
commit violence in the wrong arena.

john.. there are violent people in all sports... there are violent
people that dont play any sports. there are non violent people that
box and play football. bruce smith said he liked football becayse "he
could really kick the shit out of somone and not get arrested".
michael strahan said he never played angry... he always played focused
with a professional mindset. here you have one guy expressing an
understanding of what is legal and what was not. then you have
another guy expressing a non violent mind set while on the field.
while bruce smith's statement sounds like that of a vioent man, it
also sounds like the statement of a man that knows play from
violence.
for the sake of getting past semantics, lets remove the word
"violence" where ever I have written it and substitute it with
"criminal violence". And past that I'll say for sure... You dont have
to be a violent criminal to play football and football as an
occupation or as a sport is not any reason to make excuses for a
football player to take up criminal violence. for every knuckle head
ball player in the nfl or college that pops off, there are hundreds...
thousands that dont.

mark... is football now or was it ever an activity where unwilling and
unknowing participants were preyed on by others ??? do they allow
guns on the fied ??? can the physical contact continue after the
whistle ??? would you get the win if you strangle the QB ??? if you
want a bigger contract, can you use force on another guy in the locker
room and take his necklace, ring or wallet ??? Are there doctors ready
on the field in case of injury ??? Do they have security at games ???
Cameras ??? Football is not violence. If you dont like what I define
as violence, than say it is not criminal violence. Not in it's spirit
and not in physical practice. Get rid of the reffs, spectators,
cameras, doctors, allow weapons and let several guys go after one guy
for money, mallice, revenge or social prestige and it will a violent
sport.

Michael, your qualifiers don't change things. If two guys in a bar
agree to go outside and duke it out, is it no longer "violence"? Would
you not consider someone who makes a habit of doing that a "violent" person?

The "criminal" aspect of it only describes whether or not politicans
have deemed it to be illegal. It doesn't change anything about the
activity. I think the point that people are making here is that it's a
violent sport and so it's not a reach to think that some of these
players may have the propensity to engage in violence off the football
field too. Probably more often than your average pencil pusher who gets
a hangnail making photocopies.

Michael, it's becoming obvious you speak a different language than the
rest of us. Violence is not defined as a criminal act in most peoples
minds, it just is part of a criminal act but is is also possible to
commit a criminal act without violence. How many people were injured
by violence in the Enron crimes?

Yep... And it is just fine if ball players do criminal violence.
We'll let it slide cause that is their nature. Who cares... Lets get
'em on the team. Ball players are all animals anyway. The more
violent the better. Like Paul Crewe said in the Longest Yard. "You
got any with five stars"

If someone does their time, I have no problem with employers allowing
them back to work. That's what the rules say. If you don't like it,
then your problem is with the NFL rules committee, not the New York Jets.

A contest and a game that does not have to take place. A fight
requires two willing participants. I would never lose a fight because
I would not get involved in one. If a guy in a bar challanged me, I'd
leave. If he struk me, it would not have just lost a fight. I would
have just been assaulted. Criminals employ professional violence.
They dont say "put up your dukes". They dont want to "fight" you.
They want to subdue you as unfairly as is possible.

Mark... I agree. If you do your time, you can come to work. If
you fuck up and continue to fuck up it is understandable that an
employer passes on a destructive influence.

So bar fights, with two willing participants, aren't criminal? It's not
illegal? Cops don't arrest the participants?

yes, it is illegal... arrests are made, and some times they are not.
unless there is serious injury, two participants in a bar fight never
see the inside of a court room. if one of the idiots gets out of hand
and continues to beat the piss out of the other who is no longer an
active participant, then agrivated battery charges are the usual
result.

Yeah, and I said he was still a criminal because he was violent (my
definition, not Michael's). Sometimes people's "bad luck" comes from
the situations that they put themselves in and the confrontations that
they usually escalate.

I would not label hitting a staffer of Obama a criminal act.
:)
If he threw the first punch he was a criminal. If he didn't it is self
-defense. It is easy as I approach 50 to say again, nothing good
happens after midnight, but nothing really does.

actually... in many states you don't have to wait to be struck. if a
person is menacing you without contact and you warn them, you can
legally hit them first if they refuse to back off. menacing would
include coming into a persons space abruptly, violent gestures and
verbal threats.

You guys are so willing to give Miller the benefit of the doubt, but
Santonio is as good as guilty for virtually the same scenario. I don't
get it.

I'd give most people the benefit of the doubt after one incident.
Santonio appears to be trouble waiting to happen. Again and again and
again... Dont you find it the least bit compelling that such a skilled
player get's walking papers for a fifth round pick in return. And,
no... Not just to send the a message to the lady killer.

Yes, I find it very questionable. I found it questionable when Moss was
traded for only a 4th. I find it questionable that Denver got so much
for Marshall. A lot of times, my predictions about trade value are way
off. And so you have to ask what the contributing factors are. I think
PR is a big one in this case. Not so much sending a message to Ben, but
rather, sending a message to fans. They think that this will atone for
the Ben stuff too.

Huh? Not me, I wasn't worried about what he did. Some pot, possibly
hit his girlfriend, but maybe she over reacted. I am skeptical about
the DA's case whenever it is a celebrity.

Welker's a midget and is better than both.
Cotchery is a better receiver than Braylon, but Braylon's bigger. Size
doesn't really matter.
But Marshall is a lot better than Holmes. But I also think he'd piss
off Michael more than Holmes.
