Forked Thread: If Lynch was drunk when he hit and ran - Why target just Lynch??

[Ebenezer]

Forked from: If Lynch was drunk when he hit and ran... I want him cut from the team.

Yeah... I said it... I want anyone who drinks and drives, especially it includes a hit and run, cut from the team that I support.

Substance abuse violations are one thing, disorderly conduct as well... but when you get drunk and get behind the wheel... you put the lives of wives and children in jeopardy... and that is something I can't and won't support.

The longer this situation goes on... the more respect I lose for Marshawn.

A lot of questions here...this isn't an isolated case. It happens to others. Other people have no regard for their fellow members of society. Does anybody stop using products of companies that have execs and employees who do what ML did? Do you stop using their products when they committ other crimes against society if the employee is not fired?

......be very careful with that one, especially with evaporating pensions.

First and foremost, until it is PROVEN, Marshawn wasnt drunk. You libs can distort the constitution to suit your agendas when it suits you. so I say innocent til proven guilty.

Knee jerk reactions aside, DUI is a pretty common crime. And short of reinstating prohibition, stiffer and siffer penalties is all we can do to stop it.
so far as boycotting, I think you could find much more pressing issues than DUI as grounds for boycott.


LEAVE POOR MARSHAWN ALONE!!!!
He has been punished as per the law dictates(horrible grammar hoof). The case is closed.

Didnt Ray Lewis Kill someone? go boycott the Ravens for crissakes.

Didnt

The Marshawn case is over. We should all get over it as well. There is nothing to be gained, no matter what your opinion may be, by rehashing this thing ad infinetum, ad nauseum.

I think people missed the point of this thread...Pride wanted ML cut because of the incident...I was asking an honest question. Do people scream this loudly when things like this happen in the non sports world. I thought this was a pretty legit question. It had nothing to do with liberals or conservatives or rehashing.

Consider the source.

Consider the source.

NT, that is not my point. For a month now we have listened to and read from people who are so outraged. Do they have the same outrage for "average people" and companies or just sports celebs?

Come on Eb. Just look at what's considered "news" these days.

Our whole society thrives on brain dead celebrity, real or invented.

I know what point you're trying to make. It's a valid one.

When Darryl Talley was arrested for drunk driving (which from what I heard he wouldn't have been if he hadn't told the officer he was going to do a sex act on the cop's wife) was the same guy calling for him to be cut too, and does he want him off the wall?

When you have a friend die in a head on collision with a drunk driver... come back and talk to me.

I still hold firm to what I said. IF... and that is spelled I-F, Marshawn is ever proven to have been drunk while driving, regardless of if he hit someone... I'd still want him cut.

I have zero tolerance for drunk drivers... professional NFL players or the guy down the street.

But do you think others should lose their job for DWI?

Pride, again my point has been missed. Are other people/companies held to the same standard? Am I not asking the question properly or can't people answer it?

I did answer your question. A co-worker of mine use to Drive Drunk every weekend. He had been busted twice before, and even served some jail time at one point. But he got out and kept on doing it... because partying and drinking was worth the 6 days in jail he spent.

IMO, if you are caught driving drunk... your license should be immediately revoked for 1 year, get 30 days in jail, and your employer should have the right to immediately fire you. Second offense is a large fine ($5,000?) and 1 year in jail.

While I am not tolerating DWI (at all), do you think other offenses should allow the firing of a person by an employee and how do you draw the line?

Re: Forked Thread: If Lynch was drunk when he hit and ran - Why target just Lynch??

but do you want him fired? If he worked for another company would you want him fired? Would you stop using a product/service that he/that company created? Those were my questions. I am not trying to put you on the spot.
