If the story is true you most agree this is a slap in the face of all working folks in the country.

Maybe some Spumante would of done just fine and give the the $74,995 change to a food bank, sorry my dear friend I just find this arrogant.

This act speaks for itself.

Enough said.

Are you on drugs...
This happened in a private club at the expense of the players involved. Now you are telling them how to spend their own money.

You were wrong...be a man...own it.

Role models should be your parents...not an athlete.

That is what is wrong with society today, they want their role models to be athletes and entertainers.

Role models should be people who make positive contributions to society...that last time I looked, playing athletics is not a positive contribution to society...I would consider a positive contribution to society a doctor, a nurse, a fire man.

Not all people have a their parents in there life. and would be more served at looking at people like Barack Obama or Mitt Romney as role models. Even though I do not care for the brand of politics either of these men present...they have both made positive contributions to society, regardless of their political affiliations.

Mom's & Dad's teach their children right from wrong, not to emulate an athlete or entertainer, because they performed good. Now their are some athletes who do make good role models, but that is not their job...Or Tim Tebow would be the best in the world.

Watching sports with your kids should be a positive experience for a family...but for a parent to use that athlete a role model or guide, is a failure of parenting.
