Chad & "Dad"

Chad Ochocinco really captured the media's attention with his on-line letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. He addressed him as dad for whatever reason.

He talked about how the NFL game is very violent and is not for everyone. Fans need to realize this, he said. Players need to know what they are getting into when they sign up with the NFL. It might cripple them forever. Everyone needs to know that, according to Chad.

I agree with him 100%. The game is very violent and at times doesn't make any sense. On the other hand, these guys are paid a lot of money to risk maiming themselves for the sake of the game.

It is very difficult to control the tempo of the game from off the field. You could go to a park league touch football game and see some level of crazy behavior by all those present.

You never want to see anyone get hurt, but it happens more than it should.That bothers me.
