Don't get me wrong, the man has talent. I admire that. However, how can someone so talented think that he's setting a good example by leaving games early, and by pretending to moon the packers fans during the win this past Sunday?
Always the one to set a great example for the kids, Moss had this to say after the game.
"I don't give a damn what they talk about. They better talk about the 'W' we put on Lambeau Field today."
and of course he was...
"just having a little fun with the boys a bit. Hope I don't get in trouble by it, but if I do, I'll take the heat."
It's always nice to see players show maturity and responsibility in their actions. He says he's willing to face the fine (because he's paid millions of dollars to play a game). Is he willing to admit that he's setting a bad example for kids, and take any responsibility for a lack of sportsmanship present in youth today? Or is he not a contributor...? I'm sure if you were to ask him he would say that of course he's not to blame. But that's not the truth.
I don't think Moss thinks he's a bad example, and secondly I don't think he honestly cares. That's the problem with the current crop of professional players. Everything is always about them, and about how much they can make, and how much attention they can get.
Where's Deion Sanders on this issue?
