Why is football sanctioned since it hires a criminal element to play?

Rebecca asked:

I just read about this player who got convicted of illegal gambling and worse killing innocent animals and torturing other dogs in order to make them fight each other so he could be entertained with his low class associates. Another player committed murder. So as not to get sued for defamation I will not say his name but it is the same as a cartoon character. Why people tolerate this so callled sport. I wonder if my dad could get in trouble and possibly lose his job because he watches football games. He is a police detective and they have to maintain a high degree of ethics. My husband (we are newly married) would sit with my dad and some of his friends from work on Monday nights to watch football. I’ve known him for many years so this Monday night football has been going on for a long time. In order to be with my love I would often sit with him to keep him company. I noticed that another thing that defines football as a low class sport is the fact of beer commercials on tv.

    Every bunch has its bad seeds. Not every player is bad just not like every cop is crooked but some are. As long as there is human beings involved there will be the chance the person doing the job is a dirty low life. Who knows

    Why would you get sued for defamation if he did commit murder? Defamation is when you say something untrue about someone. And who was it? Wily E. Coyote?
    Anyways, the NFL does not make it mandatory for its players to commit crimes in order to play football, and if people started losing their jobs because they watched it, there would not be many people working. Don’t you worry to much about it. grouch2111
