This team and the NFL need to keep players like this off the field.
Maybe soon the players will learn that the NFL will not tolerate players thinking that they can behave like this.

I mean the man can't keep ahold of a team together. Look how many Bengals have had trouble with the law the last few years. I know why Chad Johnson does not want to be there. And quite frankly I can't blame him.

Grown men know how they should act. If they choose not to act in accordance with the law, they will get punished. The problem is when a thug with talent makes money, the thug thinks he can do whatever he wants. Toss him to the streets where he belongs.

It's completely insane to say a grown man isn't responsible for his actions. That is EXCATLY what's wrong with people now; not enough responsibility for one's own actions. Should my boss get blame b/c I go to jail? HELL NO. It was MY decision, MY consequences. What a hairbrained thought......

No, your boss shouldn't get the blame for your behavior, but if a lot of people in his organization are getting arrested, it is reasonable to question his hiring policies.

Go ahead. Accuse me of discrimination.
I do discriminate ... against ignorance and blatant stupidity. I'd just like an explanation as to why almost all of the NFL criminal minds seem to be African-American ... And I don't want the Al Sharpton explanation.

I have refused to go there. I didn't like the idea of where it could possibly go....

Everybody refuses to "go there". And nobody like where this subject leads. I posted this here instead of in Smack with the hope there could be some intelligent conversation not related to the "because of race" but rather the "in spite of race".
Someone could have responded with something as simplified as "African-American NFL players outnumber non-African American football players, and therefore the odds of incidents involving African American players are greater." Or with "More African-American NFL players are single, and are therefore out in situations more likely to be a potentially criminal situation than a married player who goes home after work."
Statistics may or may not support the above. I haven't yet researched the numbers. But it is possible to discuss the issue without limiting the scope of the discussion to "it's because they are African-American", which would be false and inaccurate on all faces.
No responses have been forthcoming.

Your opening statement says you want to be the first to start a race riot, you're the first however like those before you, you'll learn that one man riots are doomed to fail when the opening salvo originates from a fan based message board... But I'll play along.
You then pointed out the fact that Michael Vick, Antonio Pierce, Chris Henry, Kenny Wright, and Pacman Jones are all in trouble and all the same race.Considering this site is centered around a NFL team I'm pretty sure this was already known by those that would come across this post and would not have much to add to it.
I'm with them on that and can't think of anything that you've missed, other than Kevin Faulk having the same problem as Wright (he didn't run so you probably never heard of it... he volunteered to take a piss-test - passed - end of story).
Next you request someone to accuse you of discrimination, however you didn't give anyone a chance by stating "I do discriminate" you attempted to clean it up with the "against ignorance and blatant stupidity"
Ignorance and blatant stupidity is having your picture taken giving underage girls beer.
You say "Everybody refuses to "go there". And nobody like where this subject leads.", maybe your post has nothing in it to respond to, maybe you state a opinion on the subject instead of stating the obvious. Every riot needs a leader, you want to start one you'll need to have a veiw that people will buy into.
But this...Someone could have responded with something as simplified as "African-American NFL players outnumber non-African American football players, and therefore the odds of incidents involving African American players are greater."

... sounds like you would like to have more facts on the subject but you're waiting on someone else to do the leg work.
If you want to start a riot do it elsewhere. This is the ATL forum and the topic of this thread is about Chris Henry
He makes Pacman Jones look like a stand-up citizen
