Look, I believe everyone is entitled to a good time as long as it doesn't break any laws, or hurts anyone. The guy went to Vegas. Not to sit on his ass in a hotel room and watch TV, but to go out and have fun. If this is his way of doing so, then so be it.

You are allowed to go out to clubs and do as you please without anyone harassing you because you aren't a target, a guy like him is. Does that take away from his right to spend money as he wishes and spray the crowd with Dom P? No.

Finally, I went to school in DC where shootings occurred at clubs on more than one occasion. Did that stop me from going out? No.

I think y'all are being to hard on the guy. Athletes go out to clubs and bars all the time, and incidents don't occur. J. Walk was unlucky, and I think its unecessary for you guys to say that these guys should stay home or stay away from dangerous places (where isn't dangerous nowadays?) so stuff like this won't happen
Let me ask you this. If you owned an NFL team would you invest 27- 30 mil. over 3 years on Javon Walker? I'm not saying you have to stay home. But I'm not investing in a guy that can't stay away from the nightclub scene.

I think that's missing the point of this debate, though. Some people are acting as if Walker deserved this or brought it on himself. That's the debate.

To answer your question: No way in hell. I would be pretty pissed if I was the Raiders, but (as a fan) I still feel sorry for the guy and don't think he deserved it. Also, I don't know that I would have spent that kind of money on him in the first place...

If I was an NFL owner, I wouldn't value J Walk at as much as the Raiders paid him. It has nothing to do with this incident, but rather the guy's production. Reports are saying that he should be good for the start of training camp, so no hurt, no foul to the Raiders. Walker is still the victim
