The problem here is that, while if you or I would have committed this crime, we would probably find it difficult to get a job anywhere, etc., This guy will jump right back into the limelight with an exorbitant salary. The fact that he is a convicted felon will probably not cause him any hardship. & the reason being that many do not seem to think that what he did should keep him from helping his team win. IMHO, this is ridiculous.
Lately I've been thinking that the uproar from fans, residents of whatever city he'd go to, and the country in general will likely stop anyone from wanting to sign him.. Only time will tell.
