Exactly. A similar scenario could happen to any one of us on a smaller scale, and we would all feel cheated. It's pretty telling that no one has responded to my hypothetical scenario earlier.

Add to it that sites like Deadspin released after the fact that whomever did it tried to sell the info beforehand and it's pretty much textbook blackmail. And I'd say there's a good chance criminal charges could follow when they find out who did it.

False. I take responsibility for my actions. Tunsil was dumb enough to video that, therefore he should've thought of the consequences of something like that getting out at the time of his recording.

ETA: let me be clear that whomever hacked his account is a horrible person and that was a terrible thing to do.

A "victim of society"? Good LORD. No one is responsible for his/her actions any more according to this mindset, as almost any personal "problem" could be excused this way in some form or another. As for the video costing him money, I rather doubt that the NFL was worried about a one time youthful mistake. Obviously, this was not the first time he ever made this youthful mistake. He was in the hotel room where his roommate got messed up enough to fall through a plate glass window. So he smoked weed twice & both times shite happened? Ask any employer's HR dept how it feels about a possible job candidate's dumbness.
