It appears to me that this is a relativistic attitude you are taking.. I am not sure what your stance on Ricky is, but I hope it is as lenient, for I actually find Ricky's grievances to be less egregious than McMichael's... As a child who occasionally witnessed parental altercations, and one who had issues with a quasi-alcoholic father in his life, I do feel for his children, but their problems are directly attributable to their father's lack of control.. Of course, I am not saying his wife doesnt fuel the situation, but, as a man of value, you should show restraint, especially if you have children who are directly effected by the actions they witness in their parents.. I am sorry, but I will not condone this repetitious behavior by anyone, regardless of their affiliation to a team I choose to follow.. I dont exactly think McMichael is of despicable character, but he is capable of despicable actions, as shown TWICE, and who knows what has occured that has not been reported..
If you want to go own downplaying a very real and detrimental problem, you are welcome to do so.. But all I know is if we kept on excusing all the wife beaters in the world because they have bitchy wives, there will be alot more messed up children growing up in a ravaged family environment, and that, I can assure you is good for noone...
