Reply to "Pete Rose deserves HOF"

I has been alleged here that no player, convicted of gambling while active has never been elected to any major HOF. FALSE!!

Paul Hornung, given an indefinte suspension in 1963 by Pete Rozelle for gambling, along with Alex Karras, was, in fact, reinstated and his bust sits proudly in the NFL HOF! It is claimed that Vince Lombardi lobbied Rozelle for his reinstatment and he played 3 or 4 more years.

Next argument?
