Possibly. But a lot of people still haven't forgiven him dispite him being a pro football player. In fact, he gets a bigger negative reaction then any normal guy would get who did the same thing. If you count the potential money he could have made, and the money he actually lost.. he's likely paid for it more then any other man who's ever commited the same crime. Not to mention his dirty laundry is going to follow him around for the rest of his life on the public stage.
If he wasn't a pro football player, would you even know or care about him commiting this crime? A lot of fast food places are known for hiring people with a criminal record, have people even considered not going to them for that fact?
So yeah.. I'm just kinda on the side of forgiving him and giving him a second chance personally. I just feel like he did his time for it, now he deserves a chance to use his gift and influence for good. I dont think FORGIVING someone who did their time already is immoral...
