re: Is it the unpopular opinion that Tunsil is a victim?

You are woefully obtuse, huh?

We're analzying Tunsil's thought process, and whether his actions make him a victim or not.

He knew the law when he allowed this recording. Whether the law was right or wrong had nothing to to with his understanding of it.

Let's have a discussion about legalizing weed, cool. But that's totally separate from whether Tunsil is a victim for allowing this recording.

Tunsil was only doing what millions of other people are doing.......except that his smoking cost him 7 million dollars. Consequences can be a b!tch.........

Just like two drunk drivers can run off the road, one ends up in an open field, gathers himself, gets his car back on the road and drives home. The other hits a tree......and is dead.

Sometimes you escape the consequence, sometimes you don't. He didn't, and now he lost a lot of money, and will be watched from here on out.

As for the person who posted the video and text messages, my concern would be how much more did they find that they could use against him. May be why everyone is so quiet here, don't want to make a statement.......then have another video, picture or text conversation pop up that shows them not being totally honest. Because if you remember:

"In addition, it was determined that Tunsil was not completely forthcoming when initially questioned by NCAA investigators regarding the loaner vehicles. He later corrected his account and since apologized."

I feel for Tunsil. What was supposed to be the night of his life will now be a night he tries to forget. I have no idea how I would handle myself or what I would say in a presser after being put through a situation like that.


I don't think weed is deserving of that type of damage, BUT I'm a biased homer cheatin' bear so I guess I should frick off.

You're analyzing his thought process. Did you not read the OP?

And no one is saying he's a victim because he has a video of him smoking pot. The point that you're not missing, but avoiding, is that someone likely close to him used this video to deliberately hurt him. THAT is why some people feel he is a victim. We can all agree he shouldn't have filmed himself smoking pot.

And I'm the one who is obtuse. Get a grip, man. You come across like a sociopath with your inability to empathize.

And you make a valid point. But if somebody had told you they would give you 8 million dollars if you did not smoke weed or break some rules while you were in college would you say, "No thanks."?

Do you believe that there is no UGA football player who has been videotaped smoking weed? How would you feel if that player was sabotaged shortly before the draft?

Tunsil didn't get caught. He was exploited. There is a difference. A much greater difference.

I prevented you with a scenario earlier and I'd appreciate it if you responded to it. I am genuinely curious. Try to be honest in your response too, please.

Who knows what he said in interviews to team's during the interview process?

maybe there was some misleading or untruthful answers?

You all who claim he is a victim and a NFL team passing on him is ridiculous. I don't even know what to say. It's obvious you all are emotional on his behalf, but it's a business decision and not them punishing him.

Someone was obviously out to hurt him. And that person sucks. But it's a harm that Tunsil allowed. If he was smarter or cared more, this doesn't happen. Period.

I'm sorry, but when you know the spotlight is on you and that all you have to do is stay focused and discrete, then it's hard for me to see you as a victim when you do something this plainly stupid - even if the person who leaked the video is a malicious POS.
