What are your thoughts on the Washington Redskins' decision to add former San Francisco 49ers player Ruben Foster who was released after his arrest for domestic battery?

“This is another example of our society's poor value system. Ruben Foster has an arrest record for domestic violence and continues to be a "football star". It makes me wonder to what point will the Washington Redskins go in order to be a top-rated team. Also, I am waiting for the response from the NFL.”

“I think their decision is par for the course in the NFL, economics over ethics and income over integrity.”

“I believe in our men being real leaders and real men of character. Hitting a woman doesn't make you a real man. Nor does it leave your character intact. If I'm running a multi-billion dollar business like the Washington Redskins, I only want men who have real character on my team.”

“ I find it wrong as the name Redskins! If they could pick up Foster, they could have picked up Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick righteously protested a societal wrong. Foster committed a societal wrong, yet the Redskins can’t see the wrong in what they are doing.”

“I really think it's a slap in the face to Kolin Kaepernick. Also, he was brought to Washington because they are only allegations. However, if he put his hands on a woman, then he needs to be suspended. Men need to learn how to walk away from situations. I hope he gets help through a close psychological evaluation. But, I am hoping the league will do a thorough investigation.”
