How about not bringing in gang banger players?
Do you ever hear of Tom Brady or Tony Romo involved in a shooting outside of a night club? The worst you hear from normal players is they may or may not have run over some drunk canadian on chippewa.

dont know too many middle class people who refer to a girl as a “bitch” and her friends as “homies”.
And honestly, they just walked up and shot him? Something else happened. He’s not that innocent. I can see if he was stabbed but where the hell are you hanging out and what are you doing if you get shot for trying to hit on a girl.

sorry i guess the sarcasm button was off my apologies.
if you are trying to insinuiate that i’m poor best of luck with that. regardless of your opinion its just me regurgitating the facts.
Guy and his buddy pick up two chicks most likely using the i’m an NFL player pick up line. guys take girls back to their place so they can get w.e before heading to guys place. while waiting in the car guy is shot numerous times in what has been deemed a failed robbery attempt. now im no rocket scientist but if i had a million dollar assest in a client and i saw this type of shit happening id start seeing what i can do to protect my investment.
so this in no way has anything to do with what the nfl is coming to. its what the world is coming to

I forget the % but a huge majority of NFL players are born and raised in Dade County FL. Need I say more?

I want to know why the NFL is looking into buying vehicles to provide to players. Like players aren’t paid enough that they can’t afford to pay to armor their own cars.

It wasn’t a post on the type of person you are. Just went off of what you posted and they way you worded it.
my big issue is why is the NFL protecting players who cause problems. I can see agents pushing them but still, agents should push that during the season they need to behave. These are armored cars. Shit is going on beyond what any normal person faces on a daily basis and as racist as it may sound, its typically the black players from low end areas.

See, the problem with this would then be making sure they can resist keeping their windows down while bumpin their siq beats out of their $20k systems.
I can see it now, Xzibit brings Richard Collier into the wcc shop and says, “Now Rickey… we allz no you gotz a nac fo bein shot at aight, ya no what I mean, ya no what I mean? (that stupid laugh he does) so we went ahead and gave you some bulletproof glass aight!.. and the burnout 2 game for the ps3!”

thats because almost all hockey players are white, and dont come from the ghetto. the sport actually takes money to play it.

Many NFL players dont respect what privileges they have, and think that they are untouchable… For example look how many times you see an NFL player being convicted of marijuana use! They should be thoroughly tested before they are allowed to play, that type of behavior shouldnt be allowed on a professional level, and if they are convicted, they should be getting more than a slap on the wrist

This should go for ALL sports. I have seen even no name Sabres players downtown think they run the city with cops and stuff. You fuck up, you pay the price. Someone needs to be made an example of, not just decide to protect them with cars. Granted, NFL players are not getting shot at or killed but still, just becuase you play a sport shouldn’t mean special privilages.

the major problem in the NFL is the blacks. it’s the blacks fault that the patriot’s lost the superbowl.
