Jackson: T.O. suspension 'much too severe'

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Rev. Jesse Jackson called the Philadelphia Eagles' punishment of Terrell Owens "much too severe."

Jackson said in a statement released Friday that Owens could have been more professional when he publicly complained about his contract, his team and the Eagles' organization.
But Jackson said Owens' suspension without pay for four games and deactivation for the rest of the season is "much too severe for the charge" and hurts the athlete's NFL career at its height.

The civil rights activist said the level of punishment could have been warranted if Owens had been caught shaving points, selling drugs, carrying a gun or fighting fans without sufficient restraint.

"This does not warrant a one-year ban from the game," Jackson said, adding that the Eagles should release Owens to the open market or free agency if they no longer want to associate with him.

Ralph Nader, a consumer activist and former presidential candidate, has already called for the suspension to be rescinded.

Owens was suspended last week after he said in an interview that the Eagles showed "a lack of class" for not publicly recognizing his 100th career touchdown catch, and that the team would be better off with Green Bay's Brett Favre as quarterback. He has since apologized.

Oh no,Ralph Nader is involved! Look out,things are gonna get done!

BTW FUCK Jesse Jackass and his rainbow coalition.

I'd be curious to know if Jesse wants to weigh in on the Kurt Busch suspension in NASCAR.

Its not one year, its 8 games you fuck. He isnt banned from the game. He can still represent the NFL at functions and do commercials and endorsements, he just cant play for the Eagles. Dude should have thought about it before he acted like a freakin 2 year-old for a year and a half.

I'm sure if a brotha had been pulled over by one of Maricopa County's finest, they would have been able to find a breathalizer.

Just sayin.

As for Jessie and TO, they can have each other. I wonder if Jessie is working on a contingency fee.
