I mean, it's dumb, but I hate seeing this sort of stuff being labeled as "arrested". It immediately plants the image in people's mind of violent crimes, and this is literally 4 dudes high with some weed on them.

Punish them for being selfish and doing something that could hurt their team by creating their absence, but other than that whatever.

The 'arrested' part of the headline doesn't bother me as long as it paints an accurate picture. That, unfortunately, isn't the case with the Montgomery Advertiser story in the OP's link.


"4 Auburn Players Arrested on Drug Charges" . While technically true, that's 100% click bait that intentionally gives the impression of something worse than driving around with some weed in the car.

I guess it was too much to say "Misdemeanor Marijuana"

Oh, and props to the REC doing work. Won't hear another word about Bo Davis now.
