Why is everyone acting like it is odd that it is difficult to root for a child abuser?
Schneed would root for a Skins running back if the dude raped his own mother, not because he is a bigger fan than you or me, but because he has no soul and was never shown affection as a child.

My point is not that with enough elements I might approve or be less disgusted by
what he did. I might not, what he did is
un-excusable under any circumstances.
My points are:
1) I don't think it is
up to me to decide if he paid enough or not for what he did
2) I don't think people should be
reduced to one thing they did, because:
a) people can be multiple things,
good and bad at the same time
b) people can
change
3) I don't think people should be
eternally and publicly bashed for something they did, especially once they paid for it, because it creates a
vicious circle and I don't think it helps people becoming
better versions of themselves, thus neither does it help a
society becoming better.
4) I don't think
not ever being allowed to do your job again should be part of any legal sentence, unless that job is a political one.
5) I have
absolutely no idea if any of the Redskins players are good people or not, having met and discussed with none of them. I root for this team, thus for the football performances of its players, not for their souls.
Now, I'm not denying your
right to not root for somebody for any reason of your choice.
I'm just expressing my discomfort with today's common habit of everybody voicing opinions about an act and the person committing that act, without knowing a lot about neither of the two.
