No one is entitled to play football for a living or play in the NFL.  This equivalency being made to the normal working world is ridiculous.  You can be the smartest financial guy around, but being in such a highly regulated industry like finance you could find yourself being unhirable for having certain things on your record.  If an owner feels like his team or the owners collectively feel like the league is going to take a significant financial hit for employing him, they have every right and responsibility to everyone else in the league not to employ him.

 

I'm not saying Joe Mixon should be banned from playing in the NFL, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if he was and I would completely understand why he was.  And I can assure you that the Jags aren't going to take him in the 2nd round and probably wouldn't later in the draft either.
