AYFKM? You obviously haven't stopped to think about the kind of stuff that could potentially come out. If he's long been as reprehensible as the general opinion around here is, what kind of crap was he pulling for how long? And why didn't the league act on it? The implication will be that by choosing not act on it, they effectively condoned it. You think they'll claim they didn't know, when it will be easy to prove they did?

Do you think he doesn't know where a whole slew of "bodies are buried?" And what about when he begins defending his own character, claiming he was not out of line because it's part of league culture to think and talk like that, especially for the things he's heard players and other owners say and do for many years. Wait until he starts pointing fingers stating this guy did this, that guy said that. Why is it okay for players to say worse things on the floor, on the bench or in the locker room? Do you think he's the only owner who ever said something rash?

Do you also think the media won't be all over it, publicly spreading the most salacious details, day after day?

And once the precedent is set that the league can revoke a franchise for reprehensible behavior, do you think that racism will be the only grounds for something like that?

Do you think the league, at the height of its popularity, wants any of that kind of trouble? It's bad business to do things that devalue your product, and that's right where this is headed unless it's handled with considerable discretion.
