Todd, you're just wrong. You're looking at one isolated incident, and issuing grandiose claims that as it is sports related, it is leading the way down the toilet.

I imagine you didn't happen to see the first New Orleans Saints game in the Superdome since Hurricane Katrina, and how that, for what it was worth, boosted the morale quite exponentially throughout the city, particularly as the Saints won.

I imagine you might not be familiar with the millions of $$$s players of this caliber donate to charities.

I imagine you might not be familiar with the fabric of positive society these players weave, particularly for disenfranchised youth.

I hardly call any of that the decay leading the charge down the toilet.

What instead leads the charge down the toilet, in my estimation, are grose and ignorant generalizations.
