Think about
that. A guy gets fined hundreds of
thousands of dollars for doing something that did not result in his arrest, a
civil fine, a ticket or even charges being filed by the victim. That’s pretty stiff punishment under those
circumstances.
Now
consider it wasn’t even the guy’s boss who leveled the fine. It was the governing body of the guy’s boss’s
company. That’s like the Coca Cola Corp.
in Atlanta fining the janitor at the independently
owned and operated bottling facility in San
Jose $200 for a drunk and disorderly report at the
office Christmas party.
Goodell
should stop apologizing for the original punishment. Go on offense. Talk about casino’s, the cop’s, the Raven’s
and the victim’s responsibilities in the matter. Goodell is the only one in the whole mess who
took any action and he’s the only one getting hammered.
I’ve
already commented on the “new” video showing Rice hitting the gal. So what?
We already knew he hit the gal. So,
to quote the smartest woman in the world, “What difference, at this point, does
it make?”
One dope
woman commentator said that we needed to change the way we raise boys. Hold on there. No we don’t.
We need to hold everyone accountable for their actions. People need to know that they are responsible
for their life’s decisions.
If you put
the argument in those terms – accountability and responsibility - you’ll have all
the Lefty Libs backtracking and saying “Hold on there. Let’s not go all Tea Party crazy now talking
about accountability and responsibility.”
It’s
probably more of an issue of how we treat star athletes than how we treat
boys. Starting very early on these kids
are pampered and given special privilege.
Weather in the classroom, with law or school rules they seem to get all
the breaks. Here’s just one
example. I listened to an interview of a
player after a game yesterday. The guy
couldn’t speak English. I mean the words
were some form of English but sentence structure and pronunciation were non-existent.
Now I do
not take the man’s poor English skills as an indicator of his intelligence or
as an indicator of his character. But he
clearly has not been educated. So how
did he get through high school? How did
he stay on a college campus for more than one term? Privilege, that’s how. It not “boy’s” being raised poorly. It’s star athletes being raised poorly and
being passed along when Lex jr. would unceremoniously be kicked to the curb.
Then
there’s Cam Newton. I saw him on tv and
great praise was being heaped on him because he can throw and rush the football. Ignored is his theft of another student’s
laptop computer in college and his family’s blackmail marketing of his talents
to colleges. All of it is brushed under
the rug. Accomplice to a double homicide
Ray Lewis has a sweet deal with ESPN while that network’s commentators lambaste the NFL and Roger Goodell for the
Rice incident. YGBSM. Not too put this
in racist terms, but isn’t it predominantly Eric the wad Holder’s people engaging
in most of this behavior?
Colleges
need to get back to recruiting college athletes not football players. Never happen too much money in the game now.
If Goodell wants to shut the Lefty Lib women's groups and the lapdog media up he should agree to resign but ONLY if that paragon to a women virtue and honor Billbo Billy Boy Clinton agrees to take his spot. These hags and the MSM (g)assbags ignored rape, serial groping, and harassment for the reprobate to stay on as President of the United States but they can't take a guy fining the azz off a guy a guy who hit a woman? Weirder and weirder.

If only Ray Rice were a member of the teachers union and a pedophile, he could have kept his job. The case would drag on for 3-4 years while he got paid by tax payers to do nothing. Or a corrupt IRS executive under investigation by a corrupt DOJ. As to Shillary, Billy Boy's escapades over the last 15 years will see the light of day in the next year or two. It will not be pretty.
