Again...say what?
You care about an athletes' off field exploits because he makes a lot of money to entertain you?
He isn't getting paid to entertain
anyone. People are entetained when someone plays/does their job exceptionally well.
Drew Brees is far more enteratining than Blaine Gabbert, but neither is being paid to do so.
The fact that America is wild about football and mezmerizingly entertained by a sometimes brutal sport is our problem; not the players'.
