I do not know weather he has a right to play in the NFL...I think that would be under contract between the players association and the NFL..I cant see much changing since he had another run in at a club while under suspension...One question???Why do we want people who screw up talk to children..they can talk to your kids...give me people who work hard and live thier lives with respect to talk to kids!!!!!

Bottom line it is a supply and demand thing. The owners have a right to build a winner. If they sell tickets with Pacman, go for it. I wouldn't walk across the St. to see Pacman if he were playing for free. He and punks of his ilk turn me off.

Athletes must be taught that it is a privilege to play professional sports. Charles Barkley was wrong (sort of). You may not have to be a role model (although if you have any honor, you would be) but you must be required to act like a civil human being if you want the privilege of making ridiculous amounts of money for doing something that doesn’t resemble real work. Pacman should not be allowed back in just because he was out for a year. He should not be re-instated until he demonstrates that he is truly apologetic for his behavior (not just for being suspended) and will not engage in the same type of embarassing, criminal activities. For every Pacman, Lebron, Peyton, or A-Rod in “the game” today, there are dozens of equal or superior talent that didn’t get “the big break”. That is why we should not put up with garbage from pro athletes; they are as replaceable (or more replaceable) than anyone else in any profession.

No one has a “right” to play any professional sport. Like most athletes, Pacman Jones has been catered to his entire life, so he thinks that he can do whatever he wants to without repercussion. Anyone (like Anderson) that is willing to excuse the type of behavior exhibited by Pacman Jones and other athletes is contributing to the deterioration of professional sports. We, the fans that spend our hard earned money to support professional sports, do not believe people involved in immoral and criminal behavior, (like Pacman) should be allowed to compete in professional sports as long as they act like thugs.

When you go to bars and booze it up, anything can happen. A boozed up brain
is a brain out of control. Been there, done that. Started many boozed up fights,
even with friends. Stopped over 40 years ago, have not had a fight since. That
says it all. Few drinks is one thing, getting drunk is another. Today they mix drugs
with drinks and that witches brew leads to mostly big problems.

"Pacman" Jones should be allowed back only on a probational period .
If he has another incident with the Law and is found guilty , then he should be banned forever .
