The 49ers traded Terry May to the Jets for saying:
 TM> I'm not whining and I don't appreciate that characterization.
Why don't you go back through these messages and find where I said that YOU 
whined. Frankly, I didn't expect to see a message from you because you 
weren't saying the same things that others did.
 TM> Get off your high horse for a minute and start respecting the fact
 TM> that others have valid opinions,
I'll grant you that people have *valid* opinions but to get on THEIR high 
horse over an incident in a *sport* as barbaric as boxing is hypocritical. 
I'd venture to guess that many of them were yelling at one boxer or the other 
to inflict some serious damage on his opponent before the first bite even 
took place. Boxing is just a little short of the everything goes fighting 
that has been banned from many states and one day it could end up being 
banned as well. I think it's silly to get fired up over something like a 
bite, which is illegal, when there's so much *legal* damage being done and 
pleaded for by the fans.
