I feel your vibe completely. How...Nice letter, Lyn. I feel your vibe completely. However, no matter what he does to try to redeem himself as a person, nothing will erase what he did. If anyone is capable of torturing of animals or any living being, the concept of trust is oxymoronic. The NFL is a business and the organization is all about $$$. Under the glamorous veneer of all the hype and 'redemption' is a sociopath. His handlers will try to keep him on a straight path and place bandaids on his past, but his future behavior without the entourage of 'support' should be interesting. I place him with the likes of OJ, Mike Tyson, and several other sociopathic sports figures. I believe he is demonstrating sublimation--performing tasks that enable him to use his aggression in socially acceptable ways--like on the football field--for now. When he is out of that arena, he will be put to the truest test of his character.
