Greg Olsen's Rap Lyrics Cause a Stir in Chicago

This is the front page of today's Chicago Sun-Times. The accompanying column by Carol Slezak expresses outrage that the Bears' first-round draft pick was a member of a rap group during his freshman year in college, and that the group had some naughty lyrics:

I lost count of the number of times I heard the word "ho," or a certain b-word or a certain f-word. And the lewd sexual acts that are described? Well, let's just say they're not appropriate for this newspaper.

But apparently the Bears don't have much of a problem with them. The fact that the team's top draft pick, Greg Olsen, raps in the song doesn't bother the Bears a bit.

I'm not sure what Slezak wants the Bears to do here. Are they really supposed to avoid drafting any player who might have used some foul language in the past? Olsen's rapping isn't my personal choice of music (I've been listening to a lot of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash lately) but forgive me if I can't get too worked up about some stupid rap song that some teenagers wrote in college.
