November 8, 201312 yr Let me get this straight. A guy may possibly leave football forever... not because he's not good enough to play or because he can't contribute... but because he didn't want to endure racial slurs, threats against his family and possible extortion. And we're fine with this. How is this not completely insane?
November 8, 201312 yr My thoughts. Here clearly is okay with not playing in the NFL so he should've taken it to the NFLPA. If they trade him and someone else takes him, he's fine. If no one wants him because he broke the code, he was willing to be out of the game anyway. If the NFLPA doesn't do anything then he sues... This makes more sense than going to the ownership.

While the rest of the morons in that locker room are struggling to function and put coherent sentences together by age 45-50, he'll be highly successful in whatever he decides to do post-football. He'll have the last laugh on all the idiots in that locker room.

Conflitcing reports on the racial slurs and as a black guy if the reports about Richie being racist are true and lil Johnny sat there and took then he is even more of a punk than I thought.

November 8, 201312 yr I think I'm starting to understand why society is in such a terrible state. Grown men advocating violence as a solution to our disagreements and issues. No wonder we see so many young boys/men shooting up places and killing their teachers and fellow students. We're feeding them this barbaric idea that the way to handle problems is through fighting and proving who's more macho. I really had thought we'd advanced based this stage as a society, guess I was wrong. LOL . Serious question did you every play basketball or football in HS or college? No one is advocating violence. We are advocating standing up for yourself and having a backbone. Which to me are life lessons needed to survive in this world.

November 8, 201312 yr Nope. I know the PC world would like to believe so. The lockerroom culture builds character and trust. It sure can. This isn't why.

November 8, 201312 yr Did he ever tell Richie to stop? We see reports on everything that has happened. I have yet to see a report that says he told Richie to quit and to leave him alone. No, he still talked to Richie and played alongside of Richie and even had some members of the team believing he and Richie were best friends. Too many conflitcing stories and I am not going to believe the guy who refused to stand up for himself. We aren't talking about kids. There is nothing more disturbing than an adult who allows another adult to have complete and totla control over them like you believe Richie did to poor lil Jon. Jon is a weak minded man. Period. Yeah, let's believe the guy who sexually harasses women.

But you mocking 53 people you don't even know on there intelligence level is advancing society.
November 8, 201312 yr If he's so smart why is he even playing football in the first place? See: Tony Dorsett He clearly doesn't need football. If he did, he wouldn't have walked away.
November 8, 201312 yr Yeah, let's believe the guy who sexually harasses women. I haven't read anything from Richie. All he has said is "no comment" and "it will all come out eventually". I have read many reports from both sides and drawn my own conclusions. As you have.
November 8, 201312 yr Not only are they fine with it. They're saying HE'S the problem...It'd be funny, if they weren't being dead serious. Serious question if what Richie was doing was so out of line of what happens in every other NFL locker room why didn't one other player step in?
