| You nearly murdered that guy! Pound it! |
You might be surprised, but I'm completely OK with this bounty program Gregg Williams has seemingly had wherever he's coached. Mainly because I know that this kind of thing is just a part of sports and has been for a long time. Yes, putting up as much as $50,000 in a season is a lucrative amount of compensation, but players in every sport in the world have been encouraged to injure opposing players since the beginning of time.
For the uninitiated: An NFL investigation found that New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and 22-27 defensive players contributed to a bounty program rewarding the injuring of opposition players. Sometimes specific players, often quarterbacks, were targeted. "Knock outs" paid out at $1000 each, while "cart-offs" paid out at $1500.
