2014年12月23日Change NFL Locker Room Culture
This whole deal about the NFL changing locker room culture is just a way to help deflect future lawsuits. I get that. That makes sense. It’s cynical of course, but it makes sense.
Because if the NFL if anybody seriously believes NFL locker room culture will change because of a few one hour sessions led by a clich motivational speaker, they need to have one of those operations where surgeons drill into their head and remove that virus that causes potentially fatal na would be much more effective, legally, if the NFL just made the players sign a document promising not to bully anybody or make fun of anybody who is different. Just make sure they sign the non snicker clause and check to see if their fingers are crossed.
Let’s see, so you want ruthless hitters on the field who magically change into diaper changers in the locker room. You want a guy who gets so worked up on the field he’s foaming at the mouth and shouting obscenities and then comes into the locker room and compliments the linebacker coach on the subtle shade of his loafers.
You want a guy who has been trained for explosive aggression to look for signs of insecurity in teammates Cheap NFL Jerseys Paypal and to whisper to them: "If you need to talk, I’m here for you."
I got news for you, and anyone who has ever spent time in a locker room will back me up here. The locker room is not a place for progressive, enlightened thought. It is not a place where tolerance and wisdom dwells. It is not a place where the ills of society can be debated, where social experiments may lead to cheap nfl jerseys a better, well mannered society.
The impetus behind the program stems from the Jonathan cheap jerseys Martin Richie Incognito bullying scandal. Hard to believe a 312 pound guy can be bullied, but it turns out he can.
Again, I go back to those who have experienced locker room cultures. Talk to almost any football player and he will remember similar wholesale jerseys scenarios: a coach wants a team leader, a particularly aggressive guy, to motivate, to toughen up a player who may be soft but who has ability.
This is not an unusual situation. What is different about the Martin Incognito situation is that the Miami Dolphins let it get out of hand. There were no adults around to supervise the kids.
Most of these situations are handled quietly behind the scenes, but this one toxic situation in a hundred thousand leads to an extreme, and now everybody has to go on Oprah and talk about their feelings.
Of course, the NFL and everybody else is most likely thinking of the Rams’ Michael Sam, the first openly gay player on an NFL roster, and the treatment he will receive.
That’s why Wade Davis, the former NFL player who came out as gay after he retired, is part of the program.
This part makes sense. It’s only a token effort designed to ward off legal liability, and it probably won’t make much difference, but it’s a start and at least the players can see a gay football player looks like pretty much any other football player.
