Dez Bryant Needs to Be Babysat to Play Football
at
Dez Bryant has been made to agree to the following stipulations by the Cowboys, which went into effect August 23rd:
- – A midnight curfew. If he’s going to miss curfew, team officials must know in advance;
- – No drinking alcohol.
- – He can’t attend any strip clubs and can only attend nightclubs if they are approved by the team and he has a security team with him.
- – He must attend counseling sessions twice a week.
- – A rotating three-man security team will leave one man with Bryant at all times.
- – Members of the security team will drive Bryant to practices, games and team functions.
This comes off the incident where Bryant was arrested for shoving his mother during the offseason. Jerry Jones had this to say about the new Bryant Rules:
“Oh yeah, very much willing to do anything he can to help himself and help the team. He’s very open-minded and cooperative. He’s doing the right things by his teammates and everybody is counting on him.”
Should Bryant not even be allowed to play football in the current environment if he needs 24 hour surveillance by a security team to keep him out of trouble? Or should Goodell just lay off punishing these players for incidents occurring off the field?
