I have no arguments with anyone who does not wish this government actually get involved in doing so, but mornings like this one in the NFL scream for a Howard Cosell-level National Sports Commission to finally force these fucking leagues to start taking a real hard look at the franchises and the players they employ.
Not only, today, do we get the long-awaited arrest of (now former) Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez, but, on the heels of that, ANOTHER murder case (at least attempted) involving an (now former) NFL prospect...
Ausar Walcott has been charged with several felonies, including Attempted Murder 1, for an altercation at a strip club at 3 AM last Sunday.
Now why do I include this as another signal someone needs to start looking at the franchises and the players?
Deadspin provides the answer. Two years ago, while at Virginia, Walcott was one of three men who were arrested after sending two others to the hospital. His charges were dropped -- the other two pled guilty.
WHEN IS THE NEANDERTHAL FELON LEAGUE GOING TO LEARN?
