Captain_Quint Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Twice. Hit and run and a .01 DUI. There are people on TBD who have done far worse. Maybe a couple people, but a drunk hit and run is pretty bad. Even if it was a drunk canadian broad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capco Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 People expect too much from athletes Athletes? I expect everyone to be a decent human being, and when they aren't it's frowned upon. Athleticism doesn't earn you a pass. A little bit of token philanthropy doesn't mean we should overlook what Harvey Weinstein did, does it? The same is true of any person who lacks accountability in any negative situation. Making mistakes is fine. Not owning up is unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Maybe a couple people, but a drunk hit and run is pretty bad. Even if it was a drunk canadian broad. They were two different incidents. And I think they're both serious as well. My point (this is not necessarily for your benefit, mind you) is that they're not felonies and he hasn't shown any type of pattern of bad off field behavior. Through a decade as a professional athlete, he's been a pretty awesome guy, if you ask me. As far as accountability, he pleaded guilty and paid his fines. Someone called him a thug. I still haven't gotten his definition, but I'm curious to know he was labeled as such. I don't know if it's the way he talks, or if it's his hair or his mouth jewelry, or because he's an ex-Bill, but the hatred I see around here for some players - even our own (Dareus) - is pretty disturbing.

Gugny Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 hey what's up Not much. I've personally done much worse than tapping a fat, drunken woman with my car and gotten pulled over and blowing a .01. Stop thinking everything is about you.

Not at the table Karlos Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) No ivory tower at all. I've made plenty of mistakes in my life, things I'd wish I'd never done. And believe me; Ive been called out on those mistakes. I believe everyone deserves a chance to be redeemed. The issue I have with Marshawn is he shows time and time again that he has zero remorse despite positioning himself as a leader of his community. I dont think encouraging poor behavior, especially among people who put themselves in a position to be a role model is a good way to encourage younger kids who may look up to the person. It goes beyond being an athlete, and to a larger problem where men dont understand the massive responsibility they have in society. But whatever is clever I guess. He will be hilarious until he is not, and then he will be another sad story. Why will he be another sad story? He's was one of the better backs in the nfl. He's a super bowl champ. He still has most if not all of his money from nfl. He has fun. The only sad story here is you getting your panties in a bunch because another man has fun and you don't. I don't think Marshawn should get any type of fine or suspension. I don't even think he should have been ejected. Ref put himself in that position and it's questionable that lynch even pushed, he just had his hands up.

RoyBatty is alive Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 What's the purpose of a one game suspension if the player can appeal it and then not be suspended? Doesn't mean his appeal will be granted . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Any appeal should come with the stipulation the suspension is doubled if you lose. One game is ridiculously light punishment for coming off a bench during an altercation and shoving a ref. What would get for doing that in hockey or basketball?
