Alabama's Da'shawn hand arrested for DUI

[ralphiewvu]

It depends on the kid and his history.

A kid that is constantly in trouble, bad attitude, etc = probably going to be suspended or kicked off the team even. Because they are a liability. If they aren't very good, it's even more likely because they are even more of a burden.

And maybe people who fall in the special snowflake category don't want to hear that, but it should be that way. It's the same exact way in life.

I once worked at a telemarketing place many years ago. 1 Friday night, basically nobody showed up(mostly highschool kids). I personally was always missing days, coming in late, or leaving early because I didn't give a fuck. So come monday they had a big meeting, for the only time in my life, I got fired along with a bunch of other people for missing that Friday.

A few days later, they called me back, hired me back and told me I could work any hours I wanted, so long as I put in 30 hours a week. Because I was good and they wanted my sales.

And I could give plenty more examples. I've been at my current job for 17 years, and I work at home. Even when I lived literally next door to the office, I was the person that was there the least. Meanwhile, other people had to be there at 9am, work all day everyday and they made way less money than I did. Because again, I'm good at what I do, and I get special treatment because of it.

If I was shitty at my job, nobody is going to put up with that. And I'm sure there are limits to what I could get away with. Because things are NOT based on single incidents like this, they are done based on the bigger picture. The more you contribute, the more you get away with.

So if you aren't as good at your job as others, then guess what - you better walk the line. Because you are expendable and you will be replaced.

And all the "special snowflakes" can cry about how it's not fair, but it shouldn't be fair. It would be stupid and against the best interests of everyone involved if we for some stupid reason pretended like every situation was the same, and that all people are equal in everything. People have a right to be treated fair by the government, and that's it.

Sorry, I live in the real world and I don't give a crap about social justice warriors.



This thread is 17 pages long because people want to see Alabama hurt and have less chance at beating FSU. So I guess any response in the opposite is that way, regardless.

However, I have the same argument no matter what team it is. Suspending players is a bullshit punishment for the most part that is done mostly for PR reasons and nothing more. And I'm glad Alabama has a coach who will tell everyone else to suck his harry balls while he drags them along.

BAHAHAHA so you being a telemarketer and missing work is the same thing as this 5 star playing for Alabama and getting a dui? You both get called back, so yeah it's the same thing??? BAHAHAHA ha this shit is priceless.

No actually to people that get it this thread is 17 pages long because you and north carolinaBo are mercilessly defending a non suspension for a DUI. That's all.

Exactly. It isn't like he was driving around with a hand gun and drugs. He didn't kill anyone either -- he was 'responsible' and passed out before he started driving.

Guns are legal and weed should be.

Deal with it.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Ever heard of uber? Jesus Christ it's not that hard to avoid things like this. I never take my car out when I hit the bars, which is generally multiple times a week.

EXACTLY what I said. If he wasn't going to drive -- he'd have taken an Uber home and got his car the next day. Period. End of story.

Yep, it's exactly the same....if you are a dumbass and can't understand what's being said.

PS: Do you think this is the only DUI in college football that didn't result in a suspension this year?

 

[ralphiewvu]

Because it's his decision to make. He is the one who knows what's going on. But game suspensions are lame and mostly for PR. Maybe there are cases where it's warranted, I don't know and don't pretend too.

As for your job - good. I guess it's a good thing he plays football instead of doing your job.

I've never had a ticket in my life, much less a DUI.

Of course it's his decision to make. An he can get away with skimping because he gets paid to win football games. That's all. Of course you'll play coy and "not pretend to know" when someone should be suspended. It's that win at all cost attitude.

As for my job, I'm in sales in the beer industry. It's very easy to get a dui with what I sell.

Everyone under the age of 30 has uber on their phone. Idk anyone who doesn't have it. This guy is just a fucking idiot and deserves the punishment he will receive. One of the kindest people I know died recently from a drunk driver, such stupidity needs to be punished. I go out drinking 2-3 times a week and have never been behind the wheel after drinking because of uber.

Such stupidity deserves more severe punishment nowadays. We all have uber on our phones.

You are delusional comparing yourself getting called back to a job that's a dime a dozen to a kid not getting suspended for a dui. Seriously???

Of course this is not the only unsuspended dui, but I see no other fans defending anyone else. Just bandwagon-pinkears and northcarolina Bo.

 

[4down20]

So take it up with the Alabama justice system.

Or do only football players need more punishment?

You are stupid and you are terrible at making up insulting names.

I think everyone deserves the same punishment. This isn't an anti-Alabama thing or an anti-football player thing, this is an anti-stupidity thing. I think DUIs should receive more severe punishments nowadays because we have such easy access to transportation, and I work in the legal field.

Yes, every college kid should be stoned and armed. 'Merica!!!! Someone pass me a Rebel Flag and a Busch Light, I'm heading to 'Bama to get my PhD.

Get away with what? He's the HC.

How is it easy to get a DUI with what you sell? I would think that's something you get a DUI with easy when you buy.

 

[seahawksfan234]

@4down20

I'm not claiming to call for a specific punishment, I'm simply saying that any human being who gets a DUI nowadays is a fucking retard.

Well we can agree there, I actually have no love for drunk drivers and generally hate them. But it needs to be done in the justice system, not just in sports among competitive teams.

We don't disagree there.

This guy didn't actually drive however, he just went to his car to sleep it off which is enough for a DUI in Alabama. So in this case, I think he ultimately did the right thing, even if the law is anal about it.

Fair enough, but generally collegiate athletes receive punishment for conduct that is unbecoming for the university. I'm unsure what the precedent is for DUIs, but I think he should be held accountable, especially because this reflects poorly on the University of Alabama.

I didn't read the story to be honest, and didn't know that. That's kinda BS then. Sleeping it off in his car was actually a responsible thing to do IMO.

Ohh so that's it then. No rebuffing what I said? Is it any wonder why no one believes your shit on here.

I'm a beer rep genius. Some of my customers are old school and decision makers. Having lunch/beers with them helps make the sale. I'm not always sober when I leave accounts.
