Re: Jerry Richardson to Cam Newton: No tattoos, no piercings

In my opinion what Richardson is saying here is that he has a lot of Investors, possible investors in his Business and by telling Cam they like to see a certain image portrayed it would be in his best interests to try and maintain a "clean image" for the sake of Business and trying to appease those investors.

Which is fine because in all reality there are so many Businesses that ask their employees to not display tattoos in the work place, and if they are males to not wear piercings to work.

Are Richardson's views outdated? Possibly especially with so many players in the NFL having tattoos. Even guys that he's currently employing. He signed Jeremy Shockey who has sleeves running on both arms, and also Steve Smith who has some ink as well... I don't see anything wrong with asking Cam to try and maintain a certain image.. as Cam previously does not have any tattoos, or piercings. If he told him if you get any tattoos then we will not Draft you... that would be wrong.
