Now, I am a Moss supporter, but "what's the big deal?" The big deal is guys like Moss and TO have literally ruined teams because of their personalities.

I agree that a player can't destroy a lockroom, but that tends to happen when there are a lot of problems on a team. Yes that might be a little "unsportsman like", but I really see that as someone who wants to win win win and gets pissed when someone keeps screwing it up. I want someone who wants to win more than anything else and isn't afraid of call people out. I personally think that in professional sports if you are consistently sucking, you should be able to take criticism and ****.

I don't want to sound cold, but I don't like people trying to make sports perfectly classy and almost "censored". Its adults playing a game, lets not forget that. As you can probably guess I also don't like the NFL limiting celebrations, taunting, etc. Its a rough, violent game, don't fool yourself.

exactly, and don't fool yourself it's a big business and people cheat and make compromises to what kinds of employees they bring in

We'll yes, the NFL is a business and their #1 prioty is to make money. They made NFL more tv friendly so they could get more people watching, improving tv ratings, and get more coverage and make more money. Players are kept as safe as possible because they are major investments. Many organizations don't actual care about cheating if it wins them games. I hate most of that, especially cheating. But in the business, the MAJOR factor in hiring employees to play football is talent. Just like in Law, you want the best possible Lawyer to win cases, thats the priority, not they're character. Would it be awesome if all the most talented people in the world also have great personalities? Of course, but that isn't the way it is.

When I watch football, I want to see my team beat the living crap out of its opponent (I don't root for injury, just knocking them on their arse) and make their way to a super bowl championship. It would be a dream to have a blue-color team of insane talent and just as good personalities, but I would always take an amazing athlete despite they're personalities, as long as they don't get arrested/suspended or destroy the locker room.
