Let's talk about controversy. It exists in all aspects of life. The Clinton Lewinsky scandal. The 1998 Thanksgiving Day Steelers v. Lions coin flip. The addition of the Veggie Monster to Sesame Street. And the NSFL's most recent controversy: the mass retirement of many Legion players. Despite the Legion's relatively short history (unlike Elmo's extensive history of bringing education to the children of America), they were in the middle of trying to rebuild into playoff contenders when the event occurred. They lost a plethora of skilled players, which could set them back entire seasons behind other NSFL teams. Many are blaming the mass retirement on one man, who they claim single handedly orchestrated the roster collapse in Vegas. However, others (mainly the retirees themselves) point out that this was a long time in the making. Much like when 80% of the original Sesame Street cast retired after decades of working on the show, due to their not wanting to move with the show to it's new station, HBO, most Legion retirees said they were no longer having the fun they used to have in the league. In the end, what happened happened. The new Legion management and players will be looking to move past the controversy and shape their own future. I wish them luck, and suggest they follow these words of wisdom from a scholar we all know and love:
