NFL Thoughts Week 14: Chicago Bears and Beyond
On the
heels of a second NFL player losing his life in mlb
baseball jerseys an off-the-field incident,
tonight Piers Morgan welcomes Bob
Costas to offer
his insightful perspective, and peerless expertise, on the social dynamics
pulsating through America's most popular sports league.
In the
aftermath of Saturday's car accident tha wholesale
jerseys chinat resulted in the death of Dallas
Cowboy's linebacker Jerry Brown Jr., and
less than days removed from the December 1st murder-suicide involving the
Kansas City Chief's Jovan Belcher, the
"Piers Morgan Tonight" host sums up the state of the game, and asked
his guest for guidance:
carry
guns. Clearly most of them have a lot of money, they drive fast cars, they go
to nightclubs, they party and all of the rest of it," details Morgan.
"Again I guess it comes back to an overriding sense that the culture of
the game is slightly out of control. The statistics of arrests, for example,
suggest that. What can we really do about it?"
"I'm not sure what can be done about it exactly. The NFL prohibits
the carrying of firearms at any facility, practice facility, any event that's
connected to the team – you make a public relations appearance – in the
stadium. I don’t know how closely they enforce that. They do prohibit it,"
explains the man who's hosted a record nine Olympic games.
Joining
Morgan for a face to face interview, the 60-year-old with nearly 20 Emmy Awards
to his credit further elaborates on the message the NFL attempts to send to
it's players:
"We
urge you if you do possess a gun, that you use it strictly for protection of
home and family, or possibly if you’re a hunter. That it's infinitely more
likely that something bad will happen if you’re armed, than that something good
will happen.”
Tune
in at 9 as the eight-time National Sportscaster of the Year award-winner goes
on to describe the NFL as having a "gun culture."
