Sports executives are great at convincing themselves whatever they believe is right and simply has to be.

The coverage [of crimes] is different. It's less angry when white [athletes] are involved, less accusatory, less judgemental. I see that in the pieces that are written and reported. At times it bothers me to the point that I just stop reading...just stop.

I don't want to sound like some grumpy old man telling you to get off my lawn.

People here don't identify themselves by their sports team.

Sports don't define us; it is not what we live for.

Nothing is a violent as football and I bet you like. Just say you don't like it, or can't identify, don't come up with excuses like "It's too violent" while you wear some team's NFL jersey.

Professional football is the most violent thing your eyes have ever seen.
