So there's been a huge bust in the NFL regarding bounty hunters. That's right, and no I'm not talking about Boba Fett, Greedo, or Bossk. I'm talking about the New Orleans Saints. Not fictional characters created by the genius mind of George Lucas. This is a real bounty system made up by an NFL team. The NFL had discovered that the New Orleans Saints weren't really Saints after all. They found out the Saints had held a secret slush fund that was dedicated to these bounty hunters. What were the bounties for? They were used for motivation for Saints players to make "big plays". The bounties were really conducted in the hopes that a defensive player would target the best opponent players, aiming to injure the opponent, making them incapable of playing. This is an absolutely unjust, unfair, and absolutely prosecutable way of playing the game. This should never happen in any sport. People almost forget the fact that IT IS A GAME. Why is there a need to eliminate a player's ability to play, and possibly their whole career just because you want to win a GAME. Pathetic.
The whole system was manufactured by defensive players including the defensive coordinator, Greg Williams. The head coach even knew it was going on! Sean Peyton knew about the bounty system and even gave his approval of it. Wow. Good thing most of the people involved (We still probably don't even know half) got suspended. Sean Peyton was gone for a year. Some players got suspended... for a little bit and then the suspensions were overturned. Oh, but dont worry! Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely by the NFL for this fierce offense (more like defense)...punpunpun. Oh? Where is he now? Ah don't worry there's no way he's a coach anymore... Oh he is? Where? Oh he's on the Rams. What a surprise. They are desperate enough. Don't tell me he's the defensive coordinator again... Oh he is? Wow... Let's give Adolf Hitler another chance at being ruler while we are at it too. Maybe both of them will run things differently this time. I don't know if I'm the only one that thinks this is a lot more serious than people put it, but the NFL absolutely did not do enough to penalize or even prosecute the guilty party.
