It’s the optics for most.

In this climate of mass shootings, people are just sick of the senseless gun violence.

A woman is dead.

She likely would not be had he not delivered that gun.

I personally believe a crime was committed.

But, what I believe, and what can be proven, are two different things.

Agree re: optics.

However, we shouldn't be punishing folks to "look good" or to be able to say we "did something".

He may very well have committed a crime. But like you and Tom Cruise say..."It doesn't matter what I believe, it's what I can prove".

 

[thunderc]

Ja messing it up for the rest of the guys

Stupid to do it otherwise, go straight to the plane after the game and get where you are going. I honestly thought this was how most teams did it anyway.

You are starting to look pretty ridiculous on this. Just fyi. I do agree you don’t punish just to say you did something. It’s not hard to say he did something here.

Not needed imo if you have a few days off. My assumption if you play a road game on monday and your next game is not until Thursday then i think they wont fly out until Tuesday afternoon or something.

 

[Wamu]

And Alabama

Yep. Really don't wanna see a football factory win March Madness.

And bye-bye Virginia. You see the end of that game? What a bone-headed play by the Va. kid to just throw it up for grabs like that.

Yeah I get it if you have a few nights off.

Pretty sure I got a perfect bracket this year

Well,,,, damn

lol

Yeah, not wanting topunish someone who doesn't appear to have committed a crime or violated a rule is ridiculous.

Funny how no one can point to any law broken or rule violated but want him punished anyway.

If it's so easy...why can't anyone point to a law broken or rule violated?

I guarantee you he violated multiple team rules. If he didn’t they don’t have any.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Why should they when D Lo is playing well?

Russell is what a guy who is ECSTATIC to have a 2nd chance looks like.

Not Kyrie’s weirdo ass.

Ps. Lakers should go after Luke Kennard this Summer and ditch Beasley.

Hate seeing my guy as such a afterthought with the Clips, now Griz.

Lakers are not going to pursue Kyrie Irving this summer

Jovan Buha: From what I’ve been told, they’re not going to be pursuing Kyrie Irving this offseason… To my knowledge and to what I’ve been told, the Kyrie ship, I think, has sailed. You never want t…

I don't understand the D Lo Hate. He projected to be a below average defender. He's a below average defender.

Shocking.

How would we know Alabama basketball and Oats team rules? All of us who have played team sports know that our coach has the right to punish us if we do things off the field or court to embarrass the program. Making a poor decision to bring your teammate a gun to a club at 1:30 am led to a murder. Part of the blame here for Alabama basketball being raked over the coals is because they haven’t punished the best player. It’s not a difficult argument to make that he’s embarrassed the program.

Serious question, if this guy were in the NFL or NBA would he have played every game? Absolutely no way.

nope

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Ja got 8 games for showing a gun etc

Much less being involved in a murder

(Ray Lewis excluded)

 

[thunderc]

nope

Alabama is taking advantage of there being no rules in the college game at the moment. I will go a step further, if this happened in a pro city it damn sure wouldn’t have stayed quiet for a month or more either.

There’s a lot of controversy around something called the “felony-murder rule.” Some states have revised their laws considerably but have kept some form of it on the books.

Essentially, the rule states that if someone dies during the commission of a felony (including one of the alleged perpetrators), the person directly responsible for the death and potentially anyone involved in the felony criminal activity can be charged with murder.

Here in Alabama, the law states that a person is considered to have committed murder if “in the course of and in furtherance of the crime that he or she is committing or attempting to commit, or in immediate flight therefrom, he or she, or another participant if there be any, causes the death of any person.”
