I can't speak for everyone but I'm a football fan first, and a fan of an individual team second. Paying bounties, 'testing' injuries and late hits are two things. Things that shouldn't be in the sport, and completely prevaliant in professional football.
It feels like to me fans from other teams, particularly competitive ones, masking competitive motivations with moral ones. That or they really have never been around the game. I learned long ago (through watching the BCS opposition develop) that people believe whatever pop media feed them. Dozens of posts already about the Williams speech about headshots, but how many about Victor Cruz? He said the exact same stuff about the exact same person. Not a single person wishes he'd never be part of the NFL again ... not until ESPN teaches people he should be out of football.

People can think however they like and for you to insinuate that its merely because of "pop media" is as condescending as it gets.
And no i dont believe that payton should be out of football forever, but his suspension is fair and after he is done, should and will be back in. Williams on the other hand was warned twice to stop...and didnt. His big FU to Goodell and his own bosses has him where he should be and made an example of...his priviledge of working in the NFL is revoked for good.
