He was stupid to engage in this activity. He was even more stupid to deny it. But now hes admitted to his crimes. And hes saying all the right things to make amends for his behavior. Is he genuine? Time will only tell but so far so good I think. In his last press conference he basically stated he honestly didn’t think it was a big deal. But he has since learned to many people it’s a huge deal. And how wrong he was for engaging in it. And how desperate he is to make amends for it and better the world because of his mistake. He particularly focused on how much he had failed the youth who saw him as a hero and wanted to emulate him. And that he ultimately wants to use his own tragedy in this to educate these same youth about dog fighting and how its most definitely NOT cool. And that’s a good thing if he means it. So lets hope he does. I think that would actually be more beneficial then him rotting in jail for years. Kids tend to look up to athletes even if they go to jail (sometimes especially if they do…). So our only chance is to have these same athletes “see the light” and pass this light on to those kids who might otherwise engage in vile behavior themselves. So lets keep a close eye on him… And see if he continue into the Amazing Grace realm of life changing opportunity or if he just goes through the motions and doesn’t seem to get it despite everything that’s happened…
