Retired NFL star Warren Sapp was arrested for soliciting a prostitute and misdemeanor assault in Phoenix after covering the Super Bowl for the NFL Network:
Ex-NFL Star Arrested on Prostitution Charge
Prostitution should be legal. Two consenting adults exchanging money for a service should not be illegal. It’s an absurd waste of taxpayer money and police resources. Prostitution should be legal, regulated, taxed and zoned. Critics say prostitution is demeaning work so it should be illegal. But cleaning toilets is demeaning work but it’s legal. Trafficking is bad, which is why the work should be regulated and licensed. Agency should not be taken from adults to choose a line of work they desire. There would be less violence and sexual assult if prostitution were legal as men would then have a legal and safe way to release their pent-up sexual angst and aggression. The misdemeanor assault charge against Sapp is troubling, but it sounds like a minor scuffle, and not an NFL style tackles. And he denies it any case. The NFL Network is cowardly to fire him before the courts pronounce a verdict. Presumably Sapp was doing fine in his job, having worked for the network since 2008. It’s easy to fire an employee immediately upon any minor transgression. It would be brave if they stood by him in this difficult situation to ascertain what really happened through due process. Unfortunately, with the glare of the mass media spotlight, companies fire first and ditch due process. So much for the admonition about being the first to cast stones…
