It is very clear you do not watch much NFL football.

Hines Ward is one of the hardest working players in the NFL. This guy one of the hardest hitters in the NFL on the offensive side of the ball. Because of that fact he tends to get the attention of a lot of opponents that try to intimidate him or make it seem like they are not intimidated.

I am not sure why someone has to be a "thug" because they play hard or talk trash. That is what they do in the NFL. And please do not tell me this is about the kids or they are setting an example. In the pros these guys are literally putting their bodies on the line every time they play a game. And if you want to know the truth, Ward is one of the most respected and liked players in the NFL. He plays hard, he is respectful to the media, he is a team leader and he has been to the Pro Bowl a few times. He is not considered dirty; he just will hit you in the mouth if you are not paying attention.

Peace

Thug is a word that I would use to describe Michigan's new coach. Look at his history. My how the mighty have fallen.
