Why do the Panthers tolerate thugs like Steve Smith?

Question

He definitely needs an anger management course.

Answer 1

Because they ***** ******, dawg.

Answer 2

Hes their best weapon. For all you know Ken Lucas, having the fish face as it is, couldve been like I had s*x with your wife last night ten times or something like that. I know Steve, i played HS football with him and is still in contact with him, hes a nice guy.

Answer 3

You can't be serious. Steve Smith is a quality athlete and quality person. How about focusing the thug comments on people like Chris Henry, Pacman Jones, etc.

Smith has never been in trouble with drugs or with the law while he has been in the NFL. Yes, he does have a temper but that doesn't make him a thug.

Besides, who are you to pass judgement on an internal issue you know nothing about?

Answer 4

you sound like an old woman ayy dude hes a football player not a balerina  and it was juss a simple fight if tom brady puched a dude you wouldnt want him to be kicked out of 2 teams cuz of a fight..;.

Answer 5

I dont think punching a teammate in practice constitutes as thug-life.

Answer 6

maybe because he can play who cares if he is thug he puts up 1000 yards seasons  

Answer 7

did u ever think that ......ummm he's not a thug.

Answer 8

hes good

Answer 9

They tolerate "thugs" like Steve Smith because he is one of the best recievers i n the league at the time. He may have let his anger get the best of him this once, but everyone does things they regret. He is an extremly explosive reciever and without him the Panthers will have alot of trouble persuing their goal of a Super Bowl win. Steve Smith will probably take his suspension as time to let his anger out. Hopefully he and Ken Lucas will sort things out.

Answer 10

First of all Steve Smith isnt a thug this is the first trouble that he has been in.  He just got upset I started a fight with a kid on my team last year cuz he was pissing me off. And im not a thug i play in the band and have a 4.0 gpa.

Answer 11

Just because he punched a teammate in the face doesn't mean he is a "thug". Maybe Ken Lucas just pissed him off. You never know. There is always two sides to a story.  

Answer 12

BECAUSE THEY SiMPLY SUCK...HE'S ABOUT THE ONLY RECiEVER THEY GOT

Answer 13

Because he's the best receiver the Panthers have. Think of your favorite team's key player. If he punched out another player on your team, would you want him off the roster?

I didn't think so.
