Reggie Bush (Detroit Lions) speaking about his 1 year old daughter:
"I most definitely discipline my daughter. I have a 1-year-old daughter and I discipline her," Bush said on WFAN’s “Boomer & Carton” show, via CBS New York. I definitely will try to ... obviously not leave bruises or anything like that on her. But I definitely will discipline her harshly depending on, again what the situation is.

How the hell do you discipline a 1 year old??
They've go NO concept of wrong at that age. No concept of actions and consequences. No way to relate "discipline" with their behavior.
You guide them, encourage them, teach them. Steer them away from unwanted behavior when you can. When you can't you just clean up the mess or otherwise ignore it till next time. Patience is everything.

I'd like to know under what circumstances he "disciplines her harshly".
He can slap her around all he wants and what will she learn?
Go ahead, think about it Reggie.......
If you've still got a brain after all the concussions.
If you ever had any patience.......

It's got to be the drugs.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer has been deactivated from all team activities following his arrest Wednesday on allegations of aggravated assault.

The arrests stem from two incidents involving a 27-year-old female and an 18-month-old child at Dwyer's home in southeast Phoenix at July 21 at 8 a.m. and July 22 at 4 p.m., according to the Phoenix Police Department. Dwyer, 25, was booked into Maricopa County Jail on Wednesday on one count of aggravated assault causing a fracture, one count of aggravated assault involving a minor, two counts of criminal damage, one count of preventing the use of a phone in an emergency, and assault.

Interesting take. Spanking is primarily sexual: so why is it used to punish kids?

don't forget the punchline
Moreover, Morris noted that NFL players do seem to commit acts of domestic violence at a higher rate than individuals with a similar socioeconomic status, though a direct comparison wasn't available.

As public figures, football players must hold themselves to higher standards, and be punished appropriately when they fail to meet them. But more quintessentially, as human beings, they need to recognize that unprovoked violence against others, particularly those not able to defend themselves, is utterly reprehensible.

many American boys look up to them and many consider them role models.

Maybe many American boys who hail from the same socio-economic milieu which
spawned a lot of those guys, yo.

Outcry after Chiefs player flagged for post-touchdown prayer
September 30, 2014, 9:36 AM

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/husain-abdullah-kansas-city-chiefs-safety-flagged-for-post-touchdown-prayer/

Husain Abdullah knew before he even reached the end zone Monday night that he would drop to his knees in thankful prayer after intercepting Tom Brady in the fourth quarter of the Kansas City Chiefs' 41-14 victory over New England.

He had no idea he would be penalized for it.

But after sliding to the grass in the end zone at Arrowhead Stadium, that's exactly what happened. The devout Muslim, who stepped away from the game for a year to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, saw yellow flags flying from the game officials.



Any bets on whether a flag would be thrown if the guy was a devout Christian?

I'll make a bet right now this guy will be back playing in the league in < 3 years, ala Michael Vick.

How's $20?

Sketch: Reinstated by 9/8/17.

I say he's toast.
See page 2 for original bet.
