Innocent until proven guilty is supposed to be how we roll, but as you can see from this thread, we dont normally operate like that.

Far be it from me to credit HT, but his response was pretty spot on here:
"If he said that, then he's dumbass."

I would bet that if you asked everyone calling him a dumbass, the statement was made with the expectation of "this statement applies only if he did in fact do this"... Public opinion is not a court of law, and therefore doesn't require the same caveats.


Ultimately, I'm kinda with WG. Is it a no no? Absolutely. Is it "kick him off the team and blackball him bad..." probably not. Unfortunately, we live in the south, and anything shy of kicking him off the team is likely then viewed as overtly racist and no program outside the south would ever act like that... SEC is trash/redneck/hick... blah blah blah.

Double standards of all kinds are fun.
