But when Colts fans booed him, questions surfaced about the ethics of his decision. And they prompted bigger questions about the virtues or lack thereof of giving up — especially for parents of aspiring football players as the game continues to be scrutinized over links to health problems.
Some discussed his ripple effect on fantasy football rosters, and closely related, some, with a new NFL season two weeks away, criticized his timing. The debate recalled a recent controversy from the Little League World Series.
A pitcher for New England surrendered a home run to a Southeast player and high-fived the hitter as he rounded third base. That debate falls back on values — those who value competitive fervor and uninterrupted effort versus those who value maximizing sportsmanship and fun. These conflicting values are not simple. It allowed a kid from rural Kentucky to see the world, make money and experience things few people are able to experience.
And Joy Gowans, a mother of four football-playing boys from Bountiful, told the Deseret News she also sees the value of football.
