What about the image you would have on the younger fans, how would you impress them with your skills on the field, but FAIL as a decent person on the outside of that game. So you can have NO MORALS as long as you produce. Just ask Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter, Cal Ripken Jr., just to name a few about what their public image means to the sport.

enough of the media, political correctness & public relations bullspit. You're not supposed to look to an entertainer as a role model, you look at them as an entertainer. That's where parents come in; people need to raise their own kids, not bitch about what other people are doing to make-up for their own shortcomings as role-models for their children.
Ed- the fact is, we're human, we're never satisfied with what we have so we push limits, we make mistakes; such is life. Should you not be permitted the privilege of a DMV driver's license after your first car accident or speeding ticket?
Let the man do what he does best; play football. And in the meantime, let's look to the Pope for our moral lessons.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first throw."
