Slapping Sapp

Analysts on the NFL Network say things that are outrageous and over the top at times. It's all done in the vein of entertainment. However, Warren Sapp must be taken to task for his libelous comments regarding former Saints TE Jeremy Schockey.

Sapp called Schockey the "snitch" behind the allegations of the bounty system on the Saints team. The team and coaches have been severely penalized by the NFL after a long investigation.

Head Coach Sean Payton has exonerated Shockey for any part in the allegations. Sapp is employed by the NFL. His comments border on being libel.

The bigger problem I have is with his "street thuggery" attitude about someone who becomes a whistle blower. His comments reflect the gang mentality which keeps honest citizens from going to the authorities.

I think the league needs to discipline Sapp with a suspension or termination. His comments are too outrageous to let them slip by without action. If the league doesn't do anything, what does it say about their credibility?

I have always been a fan of Sapp and found him to be entertaining in his analyst role. He needs to apologize and take his punishment if he wants to keep his job.
