well, what other types of agreements might he not really be willing to live up to?

no gambling?
no doping?
no outbreaks on field?

all these things could possibly jepordize the game. he made a written deal with the NFL to come back, if he breaks his deal, he needs to pay the consequences.

no doping? same as above, and he will get caught as often as others do
no outbreaks on field? once again why do you care. if he acts up he gets ejected and the team suffers.
.

so if someone breaks one agreement they MIGHT break others so they shouldn't play at all?

is this really any of our concern as spectators? why are we up in arms about it

yeah, gambling is a serious, serious offense in sports. probably the most serious one there is. theres a reason baseball has yet to let shoeless joe or pete rose into the hall of fame. because gambling jeprodizes the intergrity of the game.

pacman has shown time and time again, he cannot follow the rules of the league or the rules of the law. they should nip his crap in the bud now, before it escalates into serious problems that could potentially jepordize the game. i think that is a concern of the spectators.

he broke the rules of his contract, throw him out.
