Well, it was not exactly a classy thing to do. I think the problem, however, is that people think so highly of these figures. The truth is, many of them are rich, but they are not high class.
I think Moss knew that it was going to be controversy when he did it. So, why didn't he just avoid doing it? That is a question that will probably never be answered. I can't same I blame the NFL either. It's private and the owners and league associates can call the shots as they see fit. I really do respect the NFL on a certain level for not giving up some of their values as other sports seem to be doing.
On the flip side, what kind of values do you really expect on the field? It's football. You eat your pizza, drink your beer, and watch the game. It's not exactly a high class sport in principle.
