Falcons Prank cost a few pennies

[MHS831]

I looked at this from a 21-year old perspective and I was a dumbass college student who would have applauded it and laughed.  Reason?  I was not an empathetic person and would gladly humiliate someone for a laugh--I cringe now when I think of it.  However, I would not have come close to having the balls it took to do something like this.  Your father's job?  targeting a person who is in an emotional free fall?  Forget community service-therapy is needed because there are some very disturbing issues here.  For example, nearly every serial killer was abusive to animals as children.  Punishment is not effective at modifying behavior and attitude.  I would make his apology public and personal--I would have flown him to Shedeur Sanders and met with him if he'd accept. Then I would let a shrink peek into his brain to see why he not only thought of doing this, he did it.

 

Say what you want about Sanders--if you consider the context of his world--whether it was authentic or fabricated or not--Sanders is another 21-23 year old kid, was experiencing emotional pain and rejection like he had never experienced before.  Man, this was cold-hearted.

I hope that DC makes his son pay him back the $100k

[Joe Bear]

I don't know what he expected. He named his son Jax.

[Butterflyj30]

Good and they should have to pay more

[Waldo]

Should have suspended the coach for allowing the leak. Private info is worth more than a slap on the wrist fines. I kind of hope Sanders sues. Not sure he can but that would be funny if he could recoup what he lost in the draft by having his dad as the worst agent ever since Norman's cousin.

[Captain Morgan]

second straight year the NFL has fined the Falcons.  Usually it's the Saints that get caught cheating

[T-Wazzle]

Spot all Falcon opponents 21 points at the start of each game...

Kid lost his family $100k for some Tik Tok clout smh. How stupid do you have to be to put your face out there in this day and age where anything you do is so easy to trace back. DC is also definitely on thin ice once the team starts to struggle 

[The Huddler]

is there any proof about them pumping crowd noise in via speakers a few years back

to be fair a 100k fine is a HUGE chunk out of a coach income.  we think its just a number but thats a HUGE chunk out of someones yearly earnings

[The Huddler]

if my son cost me 100k and my reputation...  id find a way to kill him and not be caught

Not trying to be melodramatic but from a corporate standpoint there is a big push for data security and privacy pertaining to personal information.  Someone mentioned in the other thread about suing the kid but the only place there is possible money is him suing the Falcons organization for negligence related to the leaked personal information.  

At best, Shedur makes some added bank and the Falcons look like fools while this circus plays out. At worst, he’ll get free credit monitoring for a year or two.

Not biased, but they should hold a lottery for the Falcon's draft picks. For each divisional rival they lose to, that team should get a random draft pick and call it justice.

100K sends a message. The DC reportedly makes 1.6 mil. 

Can you imagine costing your father 100k for some jokes.
