0:05:- until I understand what they fully going

0:07:- through or what the situation really is

0:09:- until I get a clear understanding but

0:12:- you know people see things and make

0:13:- judgmental comments and say things

0:16:- and for me

0:17:-I do not con I don’t condone you know

0:20:- carrying a weapon out in public of that

0:22:- nature especially in a guy’s John

0:24:- morantz position

0:26:- and all but this is what I think the

0:29:- league need to do a better job and it

0:30:- was like this when I was in the league

0:32:- and I talked about this

0:35:- John Moran is a franchise player right

0:39:- I mean Nike endorsements here

0:43:- endorsements that all these people throw

0:45:- money at job

0:46:- but why they don’t do nothing to protect

0:48:- them if I got a certain investment say I

0:51:- got 200 million invested in jar

0:54:- then if I’m an owner you know what I’m

0:57:- gonna hire me personally I’m gonna do

0:59:- something to protect my investment why

1:00:- don’t more teams have Securities going

1:03:- out with these guys to dinner going out

1:06:- with these guys to the club hired by the

1:07:- team because we’re in a day in the age

1:09:- to where things get blown up proportion

1:12:- because of social media because of who

1:15:- were looked at and how we’re looked at

1:17:- and so it just needs to be more done

1:19:- from the team I believe it’s not like

1:21:- okay you know I hear people say oh he’s

1:23:- worth this money he only hire security

1:24:- won’t the team hire security
