A Very Common Sense "Point of View"

Mr. James Farwell in a "point of view" editorial in the Times Picayune dated 4/4/12 concerning the Saints bounty-gate was right on target and reflected a most common sense understanding just how damaging the story is to the City, the people, the Saints and the NFL.

Mr. Farwell's suggestion of what the Saints and NFL should do with part of the "fine money" is a great American sports idea and a worthy one. That would be putting the money to good use in the hands of the New Orleans Recreation Development Commission that is under funded and Mr. Farwell explains what that money would do for our youth. Every one knows that the NFL, its owners, coaches and players are surely not under funded.

This writer has written several commentaries concerning the Saints situation and I would say that Mr. Farwell's editorial and politidose's commentaries share the same basic understanding of what has happened with this situation. It is well past time for those in professional sports to grow up and take responsibility for their un professional behavior. I recommend Mr. Farwell's editorial be read by every one.
