Haynesworth, repeat offender?

Got this in an email, its from SI.com's history of Albert Haynesworth.

 

"November 2000 - As a sophomore at the University of Tennessee, Haynesworth was suspended for the first half of a game against Kentucky after he got mad at an offensive lineman during a practice, left the field and returned with a long pole. Coach Phillip Fulmer stepped in before anyone was injured. (way too target rich an environment there so I won't even try)

 

"August 2003 - Haynesworth was stopped during a drill in training camp by center Justin Hartwig, then kicked Hartwig in the chest.

 

"Dec 28, 2003 - Haynesworth was deactivated for a game after he became upset during practice and threw a punch at offensive lineman Matt Martin before arguing with coach Jeff Fisher who ordered him off the field.

 

"May 12, 2006 - Haynesworth charged with reckless endangerment after another motorist complained he tried to run a car off the interstate. The charges were later dismissed after prosecutors declined to press the case. Haynesworth claimed he was a victim of road rage and was trying to get out of the way."

He has always had a short fuse... which hurt his draft position.

 

This case is but a glimpse of the reality we all avoid... that football provides a thin civilizational cover for human brutality, and every once in a while the brutality spills over beyond the limits of the game. We are shocked for a moment, then go back to cheering when "our" brutal borderline sociopath knocks the snot out of somebody else's brutal borderline sociopath....

Ho, ho... I wouldn't be so sure of that. True, that a sociopath or two makes the football world go round. Our own Brad Butler will probably come in handy at some point.
