His mistake was a very serious one of the kind of thing we've been drilled for decades not to do. It's not like he he forgot to leave the toilet seat down: he consciously did something that has a good chance of getting someone crippled or killed. Which as it turns out is exactly what happened. |
Of course, the result was tragic. A man is dead. It was a serious mistake, but still just a mistake. Poor judgement, horrible idea, stupidity, idiocy, and he is to blame. But his deceased friend also unfortunately is to blame, as he had every chance to prevent it, to not sit with a drunken driver, to stop him from driving, to call a cab for both.
He did not, shit happened, man is dead, the other forever marked by his unintentional horrible idiotic mistake. He paid the price, and I support the decision to give him a second chance to return to normal life. He was punished for it by the legal system.as well, he should be able to play football again.
What Rice and Peterson did is much much worse than what Brent did, even though no lives were taken. To intentionally, purposely, consciously grievously injure a woman, and even worse, to send a 4-year old kid to hospital should be severely punished and their football career should be over. Even the new, harsher suspension policy should be skipped and an immediate lifetime ban should be asserted.
To think that a player can get suspended for an entire season for smoking weed, but only 6-9 games for child abuse is ridiculous.
