...He can work any job he wants...




No, he can't. He can only work where someone is willing to employ him. That may or may not be in the NFL, but it's the Leagues call, not his, and they'll base it on their personal feelings but more importantly what they perceive the potential backlash to be for their brand.

Let's put it another way. A child molester is convicted and serves his sentence and is released. Part of his sentence is that he is now on the sex offenders registry. He was an excellent electrician prior to his incarceration. You own an electrical contracting company who does a lot of work in schools or in peoples homes. Do you hire this excellent electrician for what he can do for your company or do you stay clear because of the backlash that could harm your company if they found out you were employing a child-molester?
