When one is on a pedestal, it is very easy to fall off. There is no bias about the FSU program or any other one who employs publicly thwarting the rules of the GAME that everyone else has to play by. I have no favoritism in any aspect of the Florida Schools other than the personal responsibility of them all.

I will needle you a bit more in that UF had an athlete who personified personal responsibility and all he got was a barrage of arrows for it from the very same media who can’t find it in their gut to call out the thug for what he is.

Put your biases aside and as an adult accept that what the Ray Rice wannabe, Seafood Bandit and now Sully Pontificate did even after the spotlights were even more focused on him deserves DISCIPLINE, not PROSECUTION.

There was no crime, agreed but your biases are even more obvious than you even care to admit by trying to make it a legal case instead of one about personal responsibility.

LOL...I actually am a Gator fan...if FSU loses every game I could care less...

...are even more obvious than you even care to admit by trying to make it a legal case instead of one about personal responsibility.

Actually, I'm making the point it's really a PC case...gone amuck...

Granted what he did was stupid, immature and dumb...

Not too many years ago, this would be a non-news item..

"College student stands on table and says something offensive" would not be the lead news stories on sports publications...

College kids say dumb things all the time...

Tim Tebow had more favorable coverage while at Florida than any athlete I can remember. He was regularly praised for his character and leadership. The media did not turn on him until someone decided he could not succeed in the NFL. The commentators for college football are much more conservative than those who follow the elite thugs of the NFL. The NFL does not seem to have character qualifications for employment.
