maybe i don't care if i people know who i am.

I agree with what you're trying to say.

Although, most of the things you listed aren't illegal.

And

these players put more on the line in one year than you have in a lifetime.

Hmmm. Bit of an overstretch, ya think?

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

While I'm not doubting your word on this, I would like a reference so I don't have to go to the concordance and look for "marijuana".

:dealwithit:

OK, I'm convinced. Now, go find some carbera seed or a hemlock plant and eat that too. Remember, God wants you to. Oh, and receive it joyfully. Come back and tell me how that's working for you.

My take is based on something a pretty smart guy said a long time ago:

To the fans: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

To the players: Go and sin no more.

Oh, and receive it joyfully

Smoking chamel shite should be added to the list.

I think we can all agree that most of the time these players are held to a higher standard. They know that coming in. They know thAt when they put the uniform on they are representing the university, our culture, and basically serve as ambassadors for the state.

They should certainly know it after they were caught the first time.

I'm not perfect; far from it. But I don't willingly make the same decision (not mistake) twice, when I know it is going to be detrimental to my family. That's just selfish.

Like it or not, these kids, and I like how they are always reduced to being kids by apologists when they do something wrong, are our front porch to the rest of the nation. Now, they are also on the front page of every news and entertainment website it seems.

I'm not going to debate what should be legal and what shouldn't be. That's irrelevant for thus discussion. They know the rule, and they broke it...twice, alledgedly.

Yes, for the people beating their wives and partaking of other illegal activities without the scrutiny of a fanbase, trying to completely live vicariously through what a team does and tearing these players down is hypocritical. But that doesn't mean these players should just be give a pass because older folks just don't understand. I'm in my mid-thirties and I don't understand how you let the team down like this. Sorry if that makes me old. I also have the responsibility to teach my child right from wrong.

So, in trying to explain to a child under the age of ten why three of our team's best and beloved players are on the field this week, do I just say it's older people's fault because they expect "kids" to follow the rules, or do I tell him even the people we sometimes look up to in life don't always do what they are supposed to?

As I said, I am far from perfect, but the pass some of you give to these "kids" floors me sometimes.
