JUSTICE IS FINALLY TO A PRO ATHLETE!

After so much of "getting away with murder" in professional sports, it seems that FINALLY someone has been caught! Donte Stallworth, after pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter charges - has been suspended from the NFL INDEFINITELY! Roger Godell is the first one to finally step up and so NO MORE! He is laying down the law. Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson, Mike Vick, Matt Jones - It took a 5th man to finally say "enough is enough". I am pleased to see this. Pro Athletes are getting away with too much: DUI, smoking pot, drug usage - if it was any regular joe, they'd be in prison for a LONG time. Instead these pro athletes get off free because they're popular. I didn't know a popularity contest could keep you out of prison. I need to try that, see if it works - NOT!

Our criminal justice system may have only given Stallworth a 30 day jail sentence (another joke) - but Roger, I'm glad to see gave him a REAL punishment that will last an eternity. Sad to say, the CFL may give him a shot - why not, look what it did for Ricky Williams.

Until next time...

He wasn't suspended forever, he was suspended indefinitely, meaning that it's still undecided how long the suspension will be.

yeah wasn't that the same thing they did with vick?


Oh and the reason Stallworth only got 30 days in jail was because he had enough money and insurance to give some retribution to the victim's family.

So did Pacman Jones. Hell, Sean Avery's suspension was indefinite at first.

Were we going for "Justice is finally served to a pro athlete?" Or were we going for something else entirely?

Well, as long as sheriff Goodell is on the case, the NFL is safe from harm! Is it really policing your sport when you never act until some outside force does? And what about Plaxico Burress? Why would you allow him eligibility? Isn't he going to be on trial soon? Why isn't he suspended indefinitely? It sounds like a pretty capricious method of laying down the law to me.


And why didn't he suspend Matt Millen for impersonating a GM? Or disband the Lions for wasting the Detroit fan's money?
