I hope and expect he will be cut from the team post haste. The apology is so pathetic....... It is the NFL... known to harbor criminals if they can tackle, run, etc.... Maybe he gets off with a 'don't do it again...'

He will not be cut. To the NFL all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Of course not. Black lives matter,
not Jewish lives. Or any other lives.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I hope he is not cut for this. Everyone should be free to express themselves even if it is unpopular. It doesn't appear to be a criminal act to me.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

You must have an EXTREMELY low standard for your employees then. Someone does not have to commit a crime to be not worthy of employment by me.

I probably do when it comes to freedom of expression. I am way more concerned about actions over expressions.
