Dallas Cowboys...

Upon reading the Dallas Cowboys story, I have come to believe that there was some under the table exchanging of money. Although we do not have the whole story, I think that McIver was paid to keep quiet. I'm sure they didn't have to pay him much either, since he was probably scared out of his mind that he would lose his job or be blacklisted in the NFL if he ever said anything.

I also believe that what the Cowboys did was ingenious. I by no means support the "no comment" strategy, but in this case it worked. The reason it worked was because an inferior player was involved. He was the one that was the victim, and after the implementation of scare tactics, the team was then able to silence everyone.

As someone who is a fan of football, not necessarily the cowboys, I support what they did. If my team would have had issues with their key players and would have risked losing a season because of something they did, I should hope that they would keep it covered up.

Even though this strategy worked, there could have been many things that went wrong. Someone could have spoken, charges could have been pressed, and then what would be the image of the cowboys? Would they have changed their minds about supporting their key player, or would they have turned on him and kicked him off the team? Football is a business, and in a business you need to do what you have to, to keep it afloat.
