Doc Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 As SJBF said, it's an exchange, not a refund. And as NoSaint said, that $3 cost the Pats/NFL will lose, in comparison to the $200+ they got retail for it, means little and is the (small) price they're paying for PR. As for the Bills and OJ jerseys, . The Bills aren't responsible for what he did 17 years after last playing for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Florida was especially bad though. Percy harvin choke slamming a UF coach after being banned from Virginia high school athletics, Brandon spikes being Brandon spikes, will hill Heck even janoris Jenkins and cam If not for Tebow being the face of that team..... There were some real idiots on that roster. The SEC might be the worst conference with respect to admitting unqualified students into their schools. I remember reading that Travis Henry was admitted to Tennessee as a special needs exemption. Henry was barely literate, if literate at all. How many drug tests did LSU's Honey Badger fail while remaining eligible? When he was interviewed during the draft process it was obviious that he wasn't articulate enough to maintain a half decent conversation It is a travesty addmitting these caliber of students but more of a travesty having them maintain their eligibility while playing football. It is a stark comparison when you hear female athletes being interviewed compared to their male counterparts. From an intelligence standpoint they put the men to shame.

NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 What about online purchases? Like ebay or dhgate? Online purchases from the team store are covered but DH and Ebay purchases are most likely counterfeit so they wouldn't be covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybee Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 You are prudent in your cautious approach to this case. That is the mature way to follow this evolving story. But as the investigation advances the case against AH tighens and the story line becomes clearer. As it stands the authorities don't need the cooperation of AH. His gang that couldn't shoot straight bungling has helped the authorities to solve this case. As the coverage of this case, the drive-by case in Boston and the civil case of another shooting demonstrates that AH is a thug with a remorseless gang-banging killing mentality. It is interesting to observe that not one teammate spoke on his behalf when the story first broke. Not one teammate has come out and said that he can't believe that he was capable of such a vicious crime. Vrable made some early comments that AH had his own agenda and then refused to elaborate. The Welker incident has come to light indicating that his muscle tendencies were exhibited within the team. Aaron Hernandez is a testament to the corruption and perversion in big time college sports. There is no way that he was an actual student at Florida. He flunked a number of drug tests at Florida, and was allowed to play. How was a person like him allowed to get into the school? The big time college sports system is rotten to the core. I'm not naive about big time college sports. It is more of a business than an educational endeavor. But something is wrong when such a person is allowed to represent the college. This is a ridiculous sham. Very well said, JohnC. I have to agree with this.

jimmyjack88 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 This could be the beginning of the end of college and pro athletics as we know it. All athletes will now have to go through a criminal background check before allowed into school. A different kind of clearinghouse if you will. Thugs, gangbangers, felons and street criminals with records will and should be immediately rejected. If schools do not comply.... Death penalty. Its the only way to keep this from happening again.

Prickly Pete Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) This could be the beginning of the end of college and pro athletics as we know it.

Thugs, gangbangers, felons and street criminals with records will and should be immediately rejected. If schools do not comply.... Death penalty. Its the only way to keep this from happening again. Great logic And why is all this being connected to his college career? I realize he had some incidents during college, but wasn't it Law Enforcement that dropped the ball (gee, how many students (and professors!) smoked some weed today, half-a-million?) This has nothing to do with college (or even pro) football. Murders happen all the time, it's just that these (apparently) involve a player. It's not like crime rates are going to fall if the measures you mentioned are implemented. He is a violent psychopath, regardless of whether he plays football or not. He doesn't appear to be very smart, but I don't know if he had serious academic problems, and plenty of smart guys are killers (and idiots law abiding).
