Some people don’t have the IQ to understand that the environment in the Athens area, including police, the local govts and roads contribute to these stops occurring, arrests being made and arrests being reported. They also can’t understand that explaining why it happens in Athens and not the other SEC and large program towns, is not in any way condoning it. They are simple people.

Does the local govt in Athens like UGA football players ….like say the local govt in Tuscaloosa?

But why does it seem to happen on or near the Loop or 316 a lot more than Tuscaloosa? Are Bama players driving their fast cars the speed limit? Are they getting pulled over and getting tickets but not arrested?

I literally do not personally know anyone who has been arrested for speeding or expired license or expired tag or expired insurance. I know a number of people who were pulled over for that, including me. I got a ticket or a warning. I was not arrested. What would this narrative sound like if these guys all got pulled over, written up, and not arrested ?

How many speeding tickets did the Indiana team get? Who knows, because it is not news unless they get arrested.

It’s like a Pitbull. You know it will eventually maul your kid, that doesn’t make it right. It’s what they do. Expecting them to not maul a kid is dumb.
Did he go to Berry College?


On a side note, what sandwich at Rocky’s was named after an Atlanta Radio personality ?

Should is more of an opinion. they ‘should’ be treated like any other citizen. What happens in the world is, in some places, they get favorable treatment and in others they, and especially the car types they seem to be driving these days, get more attention from police.
Especially now, you have young kids getting very fast and powerful cars. The kids know they are targets and know they need all their papers in order and know they should not speed…yet they do. You can say they need to be smarter and you are right.

Should football players get favoritism?


In a lot of cases they get favoritism and when it comes to many local police departments in College towns they do, but they damn sure do not in Athens. In fact, it is the opposite.

2 UGA PLAYERS ARRESTED!









For not ringing up every item at the Walmart self checkout because Walmart won’t pay people to do this job.

UGA has the combination of roads you can drive fast on (loop/316), police officers who, since even my time there for whatever reason loved to frick with football players, and a local media that does not miss an opportunity to report on a football player speeding or farting in the library.

This is a culture problem with the police in the area and the local roads.
