I'll add to the quoted response ...

We also don't know the whole story. What if it comes out that the sister is the one who initiated the contact? It's been proven time and time again that when the male is elder, the consequences are more severe than when the female is elder.

I'm not trying to condone the boy's actions, by no means. I'm saying we don't know the whole story. What we do know is a brother and sister copulated at ages 16 and 15.

Take a glance back at your childhood. Surely you don't make the same mistakes you made then, presently. My feeling is my mistakes as a boy should hold consequences for me as a man, but still hold opportunity to prove I've grown.

I don't think it makes him a bad person. I just feel like the PR nightmare would not be worth it.

I'm pretty disgusted with the NFL to be honest. The NFL is the perfect place for people who have made mistakes to turn around and make something of their lives. It is littered with such stories.

Lots of NFL people claim to have strong Christian and moral points of view. Where is the forgiveness here? It's easy to talk the talk about 'giving God the glory' but where is the action? Where is the person who stands up and is prepared to give the guy a shot. It is clearly not his talent that is in question. I think this shows a lot of the 'Christians' in the NFL are just talking bullshit most of the time. I can't imagine Jesus stigmatising the kid for the rest of his life because of something he did at 16.

I thought the NFL was better than this to be honest.
