I can only comment on each situation as its presented to me. If the reports come that JPP put on his Superman cape and saved a crate of infants who were about to be killed by a Uhaul full of fireworks, then I'll be the first to say I was wrong! I'm grown up enough to do that. As presented, well you got my view on it.
The rest of your list? I mean it's great that you decided to go on a big high horse rant at me about players being human beings and people's perceptions and what not but I didn't say fuck all about Cam Newton, etc. or anyone else that decided to partake in your list of discretions. I commented on the JPP situation. That's all.
Since you opened it it up though, yeah these are young guys who do dumb young guy things but the rest of us don't have 15 million dollars riding on our hands/fingers. I /want/ to see him get paid and remain a Giant! The frustration is pure selfishness on my part in that regard and I fully admit it but still maybe it's not entirely wrong to push for more grown up behavior from these guys and yes that means calling out stupidity when it's staring you in the face. Jason Pierre Paul is a 26 year old man in line to get a massive contract. Not a 16 year old kid who fucked up and blew off some poppers with his buddies after school. To equate the two is remarkably silly.
People do dumb shit. It happens and he'll move past it but the only person JPP needs to get "forgiveness" from is himself if this silly situation costs him some pretty significant money.
I wasn't ranting at you, my friend, just fans in general. But it is absolutely selfish of fans to expect players to behave any better than they do. Sure, JPP may have just pissed away tens of millions of dollars, but if he made any decent effort to save some of his previously earned millions of dollars, he should be able to retire, if need be, and make more money in interest than the rest of us make working. If I blow my hand off, I'm fucked. Can't work, probably can't afford the surgeries and rehab, end up being a burden to my family, etc. Frankly, it's more irresponsible of the general population to do stupid shit than a multimillionaire.
