MONDAY MORNING REFLECTIONS: NO MORE

BY STEVE DUNN

 Football is working hard to combat a "bad boy" image. The recent highly publicized assault of Baltimore Ravens star, Ray Rice, has led to NFL players joining "NO MORE" Campaign giving the serious problem of domestic violence a platform.   Although we have a tendency at times to elevate athletes to a celebrity status that excuses bad behavior and encourages immature athletes to have a foolish sense of self-entitlement, it is always great when we see our athletes to use their celebrity to combat dangerous trends in our culture. This video is worth sharing again and again. Way to go NFL. Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry and Pop Warner would be proud.
