Its because of ignorant, wreckless, and loud mouth people such as yourself that people who may have made a mistake in life are doomed to repeat it constantly. Playing any sport professionally should be based on ability and dedication not on your criminal history. The nfl is the most widely recognized sports organization on the planet, what isn't being taken seriously? I live in kc and nothing is taken more seriously than the start of football every year. I see you writing your little opinion on a screen but challenge you to go tell Vick or Cook that they shouldnt play ball and see how "violent" they get. Here's a better idea, keep your opinions to yourself.

Football is a violent sport. People with felonies could pose an issue to the safety of other players. That safety comes first. Some felons, violent ones are prone to repeating that crime. It's like saying a convicted pedophile should be allowed to teach our children. That's complete and utter nonsense!

Violence is at the center of the game? Are you kidding me? NO VIOLENCE IS NOT AT THE CENTER OF THE GAME!!!! and the reason anyone thinks thats the way it is, is all because not a single defensive player in the NFL knows how to tackle anymore...its all about "big hits"....Football is a game of tackling...WRAP TACKLING...thats how you're supposed to bring players down...i haven't seen a wrap tackle since ...god i can't even tell you the last time i saw a wrap tackle...the game has evolved into run as fast as you can into the player with the ball and see what happens...yeah, because i really wanna watch that...the NFL is a joke and will never return to the way its supposed to be....bash me all you want, but you know i'm right
