New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma has been suspended for the entire 2012 NFL season for setting bounties on opposing players. Vilma allegedly put $10,000 cash on a table and offered it to whoever knocked Brett Favre out of the 20o9 NFC Championship game. Vilma is no stranger to Outsports readers, as he shown his mean-spiritied tendencies with homophobic posts on Twitter. There isn’t a guy in the NFL more deserving of a full-season suspension; I hope the NFL sticks to its decision.
Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita received a three-game suspension for his role in the bounty program. What's most troubling about Fujita's role is his position on the executive committee of the NFL Players Association. Here's a guy who is repping the players union…and he was involved in this scandal? That's a big black eye for Fujita and the NFLPA. Fujita has previously voiced his support for gay equality.
