Yeah, I can see your point there... but he was a 49er... can you see my point ??? 
On a sadder note, I believe it was Mike Evans on the radio this morning that mentioned that a youth basketball coach (in LA ???) has already busted his kids for acting in the same manner, apparently the pros, by their actions do send a message of approval to younger players.
I guess I was lucky when I was young and was on the fast track for a baseball career, Willie Mays and Nolan Ryan were my models, and though I didn't know anything about their personal lives, I never saw them cause fights or abuse the fans in any way...... Nolan did have that one fight on the field though, but who could believe such a dumbass would charge a living legend like that !!! Wasn't that a Ventura ??? Whoever it was, I can hear him bragging to his grandchildren one day ; "Yeah, Nolan Ryan struck me out ... AND kicked my ass"
Knowing more about Nolan now, I'd say he's respectable
