Mark Chmura. Tight end for the Packers
Played in two Super Bowls in the late 90s. Won one, lost one. Was charged with raping an underage girl. Was later acquitted. Did folks still pull for the Pack because of this?

Point - it's just a game. Bad boys are sprinkled in on both teams. We have now Big Ben, an ass for sure. But if someone pulls for the Steelers, it's not because he likes and supports rape.

Geez, DU, we're better than this.

1. Mark Churma is the most despicable SOB to ever play in the NFL
This is the guy who refused to go to the WH after the Packers won the SB in Jan. 97 because he thought Clinton was not a moral person....

Yes, Churma was acquitted of rape but he had sex w/a 17 year old...Then he had the nerve to call Clinton immoral...

Mark Churma can go to hell....

3. I remember well
He failed to show up for the Packers White House reception after winning the Super Bowl in 1997. He said that his morals would not permit him to shake hands with Bill Clinton.

6. Thanks, Sid.
Can't forget Reggie. No team is "saint free". Not even the Saints!

10. You should google Brandon Underwood...
he's a back-up safety for Green Bay, who's still under investigation for a sexual assault charge back in June.

So, is it OK to cheer for the team with the one-time rapist, instead of the three-time rapist ('cause, of course, they're all guilty)? Or is it just because Ben R is the QB, and Underwood is a bit-player? Just trying to figure out where to draw the morality line here.
