We hold highly paid professionals to a high standard in almost every aspect of life, except a few areas, sports being one of them.
The majority of NFL players hold themselves to that standard, past and present. You can mock me all you want for hoping for the best for the players, team and city. I can't control what they do..you have no problem with it, as long as you are entertained. That's lowering the bar. Clark, like his father, is HUGE on giving back to the community. Pretty sure he doesn't just gloss over those incidents as if they didn't matter.

You are cheering and celebrating players who do things that are in direct conflict with your beliefs.
This makes you the one lowering yourself to cheer for them.
