Scary Barry's Commentary: Bad Moon Rison-Business as usual NFL style
It comes as no surprise that Andre Rison is facing a four game suspension for violation of the NFL's Substance Abuse policy. His many brushes with the Law lead me to believe that its his karma. Its also no surprise that he was a member of the Oakland Raiders football team. In the nitty gritty world of Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders, being at odds with Authority is not a detriment to employment with the club. The signing of ex 49er Jerry Rice, who rode into camp on an almost white horse, has made Rison expendable. If you sort through all the veiled language used by Oakland Raider officials, Rison is history. Rison is not an exception to the rule in today's NFL. Nothing short of murder will keep a player from his appointed duties on the field! Those at the top of the Corporate NFL food chain, don't lose any sleep over the lost souls of the hired help. The jocks make big bucks, savage everyday folks in their tawdry lives and never look back. To paraphrase Shakespeare, " let slip the dogs of war! ". At some point in his career, Andre Rison was a fine Football player. Now, still the same guy, but less of player, he is yesterday's news, a product of our disposable Society. No tears will be shed over his departure. He will again be employed in the NFL, after midseason when his suspension is over and the broken bodies accumulate, making teams desparately seek help. It never gets any deeper then the money! Its no surprise that Andre Rison continues to be himself, but its not over yet. Left to their own devices, NFL players alone could justify increasing Police budgets in many big towns! Just keep trotting out the jocks, bright sun reflecting off their make believe smiles, supporting charity to wash away the sins of the fortunate! Poor ex President Bill Clinton's reputation was crusified for what is an everyday fact in the lives of NFL players. In today's hi-tech world, millions are made without your body being put on the line. Rison and his peers are almost extinct! Maybe there is some truth to the idea that the Meek will inherit the Earth! |
