Is Mike Ditka getting senile in his old age? He took away footballs when he played, now he just wants to take away Constitutional rights from NFL players. Here he is referring to Plaxico Burress and other players involved in gun incidents.
From Yahoo Sports:
Mike Ditka, the Hall of Fame tight end and former Chicago Bears football coach, advocates banning NFL players from owning guns. Ditka said, “I don’t understand the league, why can anybody have a gun? I will have a policy, no guns, any NFL players we find out, period, you’re suspended.”
And that is why you are not the commish.

Ooooh, Mike Ditka, you just lost your spot on Sarah Palin's stage at her future campaign rallies. Sarah won't tolerate that kind of talk! Maybe Madam Secretary will let you endorse her next run for the top job!
Daniel:
Ditka's being way too narrow-minded regarding the OWNERSHIP of firearms...
But I can fully understand the need to impress upon these players that they all must be held to a higher standard, due to the influence they have on younger minds (role models), as well as the publicity that always surrounds them, especially in today's technological age of "instant" news (contrived or real).
OK for any player to OWN a gun, but if you're doing something you're NOT supposed to be doing with it and get busted...hit the bricks...you're outta here.
This could be a very sharp TWO-edged sword (no pun intended).
