But... the situation surrounding Aaron Hernandez has changed things. If teams THINK you're affiliated, then you're already guilty.

And w/a player of DJ caliber, this is really setting a precedent for future players & what you do and who you affiliate w/off the field.

Let me tell you guys a little something... what you see as "gang signs" aren't always gang signs...

Where I'm from in @california, guys show love for the neighborhood where they grew up by throwing signs and have ZERO gang affiliation.

Everything isn't always black and white like the media or a lot of people would like to believe... that's rarely the case.

FTR, I'm not speculating either way... but y'all can't just automatically say DJ's in a gang or affiliated just off what YOU perceive.

@phillytokorea @975TheFanatic you think we would go to war with Iraq w/o concrete evidence.... oh wait....

Stallworth probably speaks for a number of former and current players, but he voiced his opinion and even took a shot at a former President in the process. What do you think about Stalloworth’s stance on this? Voice your opinion in the comments section.
