Almost 1 in 10 people think every team has bounties or should if they dont?

This poll over at espn shows that roughly 10-15% of people dont think anyone should take any form of punishment for this bounty poo over in Inbredville.

This to me, says, either they believe every team does this or that they think that it is just plain ok to intentionally injure a player regardless. The results showed that % held even in NC and SC (Mouse over each state to see the results breakdown).

really?. . . really?

Almost one of ten of you thinks every team does this? You really think its that hard to destroy someones knee in one shot? You really dont think you can crack someones neck and cause permanent damage with even slight effort? Seriously, if every team did this, the average career would be less than three years.

Players are not superhuman, they are made out of the same poo you and I are. When they hit each other that hard, aaaall that muscle mass doesnt do a thing to protect the thin strip of ligament holding their joints together and it doesnt do a thing to protect their spinal cord, ankle, arm, eyes or any other body part that can easily be destroyed permanently.

Those results are staggering in my book. 10 to 15% of espn sports fans think its ok to intentionally injure people in sports even if it cost a player his career. . . many of them claim they already think they do.

EDIT: sorry title should read "more than 1 out of 10"

Bounties exist. There is a big difference between two players getting together and one saying they will give the other X for knocking out a guy and what the Saints did.

Saints bounty program started at the top with coaches. It was big and organized. Coach and GM were in on it. NFL even told them to end it and they ignored it.

What the Saints were doing isn't common.

Maybe I'm just naive...

But I honestly don't think this is going on in every locker room. I still think that on most teams the guys are pro's who want to win but not at the cost of injuring a fellow athlete.

I don't think the Saints are the only team to do this but I do think they are in a small minority.

So what team is as dirty as the saints then? I struggle to come up with any. I mean certain teams have dirty players like Farrior on the Steelers, but I can't think of an entire D.

I remember some Panther fans applauding when Gamble ruined Culpepper, the de-spleening of Simms, Cadillac Williams' knee injury, and breaking McNabb's rib in the NFC Championship game. It's not uncommon for fans to want opposing players knocked out of games and rejoicing when it happens.

I guarantee you would find a portion of Panther fans defending or minimizing this if it were happening here.
