With the coarsening of political discourse under fire, now the NFL is warning against trash talking in sport. The league's chief disciplinarian has put out a warning, especially against threats of violence.
Are we getting too sensitive ? Does this mean we can't crack jokes about Rex's foot fetish or Brady's haircut ? Will team spirit and spirited jobs prompt the most unstable among us to do the inthinkable ?
Are military metaphors to be banned from football?
Seems like expecting dignity and decorum from people recruited to beat up on each other is expecting a bit much...
The trash talk will diminish when the JETS crush those SOBs from Boston this afternoon.

Have we now gotten to a point where even in sports you can't say anything that offends the most sensitive of ears? Well, next time some asshole shoots somebody or drives drunk we can chalk it up to Sarah Palin rooting for the Jets. We gotta put a stop to this. She's dangerous. As Dannie and MD47bitheRiver says, she's not a true leader.
