Neutrality

[edit]

I think that the statement "This was apparently news to the NFL..." violates the NPOV rules. Anyone else agree? Tedyc03 18:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly the tone of that passage (and that of some others surrounding it) seems more colloquial and a bit amateurish than it does biased. The statement that he's unpopular in his hometown could use some support, but is not inherently non-neutral. Wouldn't it be easier to just go ahead and fix these minor mistakes than flag the whole page as "disputed"?? Rkent 00:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I know this doesn't count as evidence, but I'm from the area where Spanos lives and I think his reputation is sort of mixed. On one hand, he donates a lot of money to the community, on the other, he has a reputation for only doing so if the result of his donation will have his name on it. I think (I'm not certain) that he was going to donate money to a local high school for a new football stadium but then refused because they wouldn't name it after him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.229.60 (talk) 19:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dementia?

[edit]

The last line which claims Spanos has dementia uses a citation for Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen. That article makes no mention of Spanos. This sentence should be removed until someone can find a citation to support the claim that Spanos has dementia. According to the guidelines for BLP, there should not a poorly sourced and potentially libelous claim on the article. (I had removed it myself, but it was reverted as potential vandalism and I can't change it again myself. 142.116.188.167 (talk) 21:03, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the source given. — Wyliepedia @ 14:59, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
