In a lot of cases they get favoritism and when it comes to many local police departments in College towns they do, but they damn sure do not in Athens. In fact, it is the opposite.

That doesn't answer the question of "should?".

Like others in your posse, you told tales of personal high mph speed glory for dual purposes. One of which besides personal cool points was letting dipshits off the hook for embarrassing our program and the legacy of Kirby Smart

Were there fans during urban Meyer s reign in Gainesville doing this shite while the crime piled up like firewood

What are we doing, fellows

Should football players get favoritism?

Did I say that? Find the post and quote it. Unlike you, I have the honesty to clearly state what I believe. All you do is throw out straw man positions and then play the devil's advocate. Straight from the internet troll handbook; you're literally disagreeing with some fictional position that you invent yourself, and then you say, "I'm just asking questions". Once again, tell us what you believe. I already have.


It's not a "UGA" problem though. They broke the law, they're being punished for it by the legal system with no favoritism. That's how it should work everywhere.

I haven't seen anyone here deflecting or making excuses. They'll pay a fine, get some points, or whatever the system does these days. They may well receive some internal discipline too, probably something like public service or early morning stadium runs.

What I've said since the start of this thread, and in other threads on this subject is that this is a problem that happens everywhere, every small town and large city, always has and always will. But legal issues, especially victimless things like traffic stops, get swept under the rug by many college football programs. They like to convince people that they have a superior "culture" and have practically eliminated the recurring issues (like speeding, DUI, and other immature, irresponsible things that young men are prone to do) that happen at places like UGA. It's about public relations and recruiting and it's not subtle. They'll straight up say it to recruits/parents, or have their friendly media broadcast it to a wider audience. That's BS, of course, and it's actually an indication they have a bigger problem, a problem with corruption among the adults in charge.

Should is more of an opinion. they ‘should’ be treated like any other citizen. What happens in the world is, in some places, they get favorable treatment and in others they, and especially the car types they seem to be driving these days, get more attention from police.
Especially now, you have young kids getting very fast and powerful cars. The kids know they are targets and know they need all their papers in order and know they should not speed…yet they do. You can say they need to be smarter and you are right.
