Wow - while it would be lovely if every profession DID have a moral standard, I don't expect it from an entertainment industry, like pro sports. There is no moral compass in a high profit, big boys game industry like football. Teachers, nurses, cops, firefighters .... these are positions of moral standard, but pro football is 100% for entertainment at a high level of profit. That's all it is and all it ever will be.
BTW - thanx Green Bay! About the only sport with moral responsibility is Golf. You are expected to call penalties not only on your playing partners, but on yourself, and it happens a lot. It's not perfect, but it's about the only sport that doesn't ENCOURAGE cheating if you can get away with it. There are many hundreds of situation where a player has lost a lot of money by calling a penalty on himself, when nobody else would ever know what happened. Imagine a football game where a receiver catches a touchdown pass, and then goes to the referee and says, "Sorry, I know you didn't see it but I pushed off on that reception, so we'll take a 10 yard penalty and try it again." By the way, don't count out the Defending World Champion New Orleans Saints. They are healthy again. DonM
