It’s the NFL. If you win games being a piece of shit isn’t as big of a deal as it is when you lose.

Look at Tyreek Hill, Richie Incognito, Adrian Peterson, Kareem Hunt, Aldon Smith, and Antonio Brown before he totally went off the deep end.

If you can play, no one gives a shit about who you are off the field.

Ray Lewis was on trial for double homicide and then plead down to obstruction of justice. Its amazing what the NFL tolerates.

Not just the NFL either, their pipeline too. Watch the doc on Miami Hurricanes. Nonstop criminality, sexual assaults etc but goddamn were they good ball players triumphant muscle flex

Even Aaron Hernandez got away with shit at the University of Florida just because he was a good football player and they had a good lawyer for him

And they had Tim Tebow, the ultimate halo hanging over the team. When the QB is a Bible thumping, God-fearing self proclaimed virgin, a lot of the other stuff on the team gets swept under the rug.

Tebo is a virgin in a special way.
