re: So what’s the Slusher deal

Didnt play college sports, but our coaches growing up ALWAYS said the same thing. As athletes of the ______ football/basketball team, you're held to a higher standard and will be punished accordingly. If the law doesn't, the coach/school will. "nothing good happens after midnight" was preached to us every friday after games.


Im sure Pittman was being old school with this thing, like everything else about him.

Unfortunately this generation isn't equipped to deal with public humiliation very well. They also don't seem to take personal responsibility at times.

I would agree with all of that, but it was the cop who escalated the situation by going hands on. There was no need for that, especially when there were dozens of people still in the street. Why go hands on to a guy two feet from the sidewalk?
