Quote:Do you really think him sitting for this one game has destroyed his career?  No.  The only thing that can destroy his career at this point is whether or not he is arrested/charged.  This has nothing to do with "innocent until proven guilty".  He's being forced to take a break from football TEMPORARILY assuming he is not charged.  It's a game.  That is the thing that seems lost with fans.  He's not being imprisoned, he isn't being held in a cell.  He's sitting from a GAME.  Him not being allowed to play in a game or two is not the end of the world, nor his career.

 

Nobody is assuming he is guilty by suspending him from football.  It's just football.  They are just taking precautions during this investigation.  If he's innocent, his career will resume just fine.  If he's guilty, well then I agree his career is ruined/over.

This will be more than one game per the powers that be. He will sit until the investigation is through which will take weeks based on what is being said now.

 

I can see both sides to the story. You are seeing one. To play devil's advocate, this kid will sit multiple games for something he potentially did not do. You only get so many games as a collegiate athlete. You don't think it's a terrible thing that he's having to sit for something he potentially didn't do?
