Terrell Owens has apologized to his team, organization and almost everybody else. The question on everybody's mind is whether or not the Eagles should reinstate him. For those of you not familiar with the situation, T.O. is the typical loud-mouth jock that most of us despise. That in itself is not enough to warrant a dismissal from his team, but it's the way he has shot off his mouth in recent weeks and months that has gotten him dismissed from the team. He has been overly critical of his team, in particular his quarterback, and his organization - most recently calling them "classless" for not celebrating a personal achievement. He has been suspended at least once by the team before this and I believe at least once by the NFL before this as well. And he allegedly started a fist fight in the locker room with his teammates. He is a really good player, perhaps even great - but that's about the only thing he has going for him.
My question is how do we apply Jesus' directive to forgive 70 times 7 times (or 77 times depending on how you translate the passage) to this case? The team - both as a group and individuals - has to forgive T.O., but should they take him back? Is this a case of fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me? Or is the a case of turning the other cheek and hoping for the best, perhaps laying down some new ground rules?
How do the Mod-Blog readers see this case? Because I'm not sure how to go with this one ethically.
