NEW RULE

Character counts.

On Tuesday, the Dallas Cowboys signed Tank Johnson. Johnson is suspended. He is ineligible for five weeks. Obviously, he was a necessity. Signing him was paramount. Jerry Jones desires victory. However, victory does not require character annihilation. The Cowboys are America’s team. Once, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith represented them. Now, Tank and Terrell Owens represent them. Winning does not require character. However, society does. They Cowboys should remember this. Otherwise, their star should emblazon a Crips bandana.
