Sense Sonnet - Steamer

N.F.L. in Demand

A pro football player does beat
His girlfriend unconscious in rage.
N.F.L. powers have to meet.
Tolerance is in a new age.
No doubt the N.F.L. would hope
To make the matter go away.
But reality makes them cope
That in lost profits they might pay.
And so the player is let go,
Encouraged not to further flack.
Maybe after a year or so,
The player will make a comeback.

Locker room lessons prob'ly taught -
Do whatever, just don't get caught.
