I think he paid his debt and then same, frankly. He served his time and the NFL is letting him play again.

He served TWO years in jail while Stallworth served 24 days for killing a human being.

Our justice system amazes me sometimes.

I say let him play.



Well, I do agree that our justice system is quite unfair sometimes.  I don't think the NFL commissioner should have prevented him from being signed, but at the same time, what he did is quite disgusting and I'm hoping he did learn a lesson about it (and not the lesson of, I need to hide things better).

Short and sweet answer:  Yes, he's paid his debt and should be allowed to pursue gainful employment, including the NFL.

Unsweetened answer:  Professional sports are an entertainment business.  His infamy which could attract fans or repulse them, will likely have an effect on his earnings and rightfully so.
