Civility fumble

The recent R-Rated name-calling incident in the National Football League by New York Jets cornerback, Antonio Cromartie, is and example of an adult acting inappropriately. In a recent interview, the 26-year-old "professional" had some choice words for New England Patriots' quarterback. Tom Brady.
In sports, politics and life, you don't have to like your opponent; however, you should respect them. Inherent in the activity of "sports" implies being a "good sport" or, as Mr. Webster suggests, "a person known for the manner of his acceptance of the rules of a game or of a difficult situation" - which Mr. Cromartie is clearly not.
Tom Brady shines, as always, as an athlete and a gentleman, as do his fellow comPatriots.
