Yep, point well taken, and I for one certainly haven’t been pristine about who I choose to watch or not watch given their off-the-field history. Something about the serial nature of the claims against Watson makes me feel like drawing a line in the sand, though, even if it’s a little hypocritical.

See above. My view: it's my job as a parent to explain which athletes my kids look up to (because kids are going to look up to successful athletes) are good and why, and visa versa.
I'd add Larry Fitzjerald on to that as well.
Wilson to Okwuegbunam?
and I thought Diggs, who's a key player, was an over-pay.
I too am in the Minshew camp! And I know this might not be popular, but I wish we would also give Kaepernick a chance as back up. Twitter showed him throwing to Tyler Lockett today after Lockett offered to help him practice, which i thought was cool.
Whatever QB they roll with this year is just going to be a stopgap measure, so I'm all for something that keeps it interesting an entertaining. Watson is far and away the best available, an upgrade from Wilson even... but for so many reasons, it's the wrong move. Roll with Lock, Minshew, Kaep, or someone like that to manage the game. In all honesty, I don't see any of those as much of a step back from what Russ was the last two years (save for a few standout games).
My sons hockey coach won an olympic bronze medal. She is an athlete, and she's one hell of a role model.
Sometimes we just aren’t looking in right direction
boy how I know it
Anyone can be a role model. The single dad who volunteers to be a little league coach. The old widow down the road who volunteers at her church. The neighbor who helps the struggling family by picking up or taking their kid to youth sports, or band practice, just because he knows every little bit of help that family can get makes a difference.
srsly....especially when you factor in, who the hell is gonna throw Dissly the ball? Anyone? Bueller?
When he played the Husky's he Couged it. He isn't that good. If he was any good his other teams wouldn't of released him.
