what kind of example is that setting by letting him off with a warning because he is a football player?What the f#*k is wrong with that f'ing cop - You don't ticket the football players if no ones phisically hurt - You can always let them off with a warning - What happened to the good ol' days - Cops are such jerkoffs now days......God damnit..... Tomerlin was picked up for a DUI. Not Solich esque, they just stopped him for changing lanes without signalling, and his bac was .011, which is pretty low, but come on man. Dont drink and drive! He was picked up a block from my apartment. He could have called me for christ sake and I would have came to pick him up.....so stupid...
these student athletes represent the university and should not be told that they are above the law.
the easy thing for the police officer to do would have been to let him go with a warning. right is right and wrong is wrong and the police officer did the right thing by arresting him.
kicking him off of the team might be a little harsh for a first time offense. this might have been the first time he got caught but i can almost guarentee that it is not the first time he ever got behind the wheel after drinking.
my opinion still remains the same but i will support what ever decisions that the coaching staff decide. i am sure that they have set consequenses for breaking team rules.
