Quote:Regardless of policy or controversial subject matter. It was Seau's wish, the man's WISH that his daughter speak for him or introduce him at the Hall of Fame. Shame on the NFL and shame on the committe for not supporting this man's legacy and wish. I understand he wasn't perfect. I understand his death was controversial with many speculating that the safety of the game and brain injuries may have caused some abnormalities within his brain. But that's besides the point.

 

This is why the NFL continues to lose it's integrity and respect. Outside of Jacksonville and the team here and watching the games every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday night. I don't care for what they've done. Own up to your flaws. Don't hide them. Stand up and say and acknowledge that things weren't perfect and that we will continue to strive to improve the game and protect our players and above all, it's families.

 

It's just wrong. Period. Even if you want to avoid lawsuits. Look, anything thrown at them in Court isn't going to cripple them or hinder them profitablity wise. They wouldn't even sneeze at some of these settlements. The NFL takes in dollars and profits by the billions. It's been an organization now for over 100 years. You'll be fine if you have to take some shots in the public and own up to a few short comings here and there. In my opinion, this doesn't help them. This just hinders them. Regardless of policy. Honor the man's wish.

 

If Baseball can survive gambling and steroids. If the Olympics can survive steroids. If Soccer can survive in house betting and rigged referee penalities. Then surely the NFL can continue to survive after taking a few punches on the chin....
