The thing this time that is different with the Als is that 1.) Mitchels stock as a player has dropped drastically since his early indiscretions in BC when he was probably the best DT in the league and now was not even good enough to not get cut in the off season . 2.)

The Eagles did the same when the Riley Cooper issue came out. They told him to go outside the stadium/offices and face the media. He did and it was genuine - only resurfacing when the NFL had him on their third party produced calendar as the face of Black History Month.
Let's hope he learns. But let's face ENTIRE nations don't and won't learn. Japan and their WW 2 atrocities including forced comfort women (Koreans) and the rape of Nan King etc. They refuse to admit this. Even Chancellor Merkl advised them subtly to 'just do it' and move on. They won't.
Pretty sad about the Japanese situation that you comment on , their emperor , basically the moral equivalent to Hitler was allowed to live out his days in honor in Japan .
