Snowball Fight at Oregon - Seriously?

[ranco]

Fortunately most people are rule followers which makes punishment effective. But to answser your other question, No I didn't ever throw a snowball at either a stranger or another car as a kid. My dad would have wore my ass out if the one of the neighbors, or school folk didn't first in which case I'd have gotten it a again.

Explains a lot.

I'd bet that if a group of regular kids stopped PlayerRep and did this to him he'd be livid but these are football players and they deserve special treatment.............this lenient attitude is what got our University in trouble with the NCAA.

What lenient attitude got UM in trouble with the ncaa? Be specific.

duuuuuuuhhhhhh

If you read some of his other posts, you will realize the person is a bit misinformed and duh might be good place for him/her/it to stop.

That's what I thought too.

Missing a football game is not the punishment of the century that it is being made out to be.

Nobody has said missing a football game is a "punishment of the century", but it is a punishment that will last a lifetime, as, obviously, the kid will never get to play in that bowl game with his teammates.

Note that I have made no comment on that punishment or any punishment, because I don't know what the TE did.

However, if you think that throwing soft snowballs and soft fluffy snow, is a major infraction, then you are a hypocrite. Almost every kid in snow country has thrown snowballs at people, cars, buildings, etc. at least a few times.

A bunch of you are probably in the PC and everybody-gets-a-ribbon crowd. It surprises me. I assume that some of you were alittle tougher than this.

As Savage pointed out, nobody said it was the crime of the century. That was you, and even though you said he can't read, please point out where somebody other than you said it was the crime of the century, since I couldn't find it either. So yeah, I was aware that nobody said it was the punishment of the century, but was just having fun at your expense.

No, most of us are in the 'take responsibility for your actions' crowd. In fact, suggesting that somebody be accountable for their actions is exactly the opposite of being in the 'everyone-gets-a-ribbon' crowd.

You seem to be confused by what accountability is. It's not knifing or picking at people including athletes on an anonymous message board. It's not advocating over-punishment of people, including athletes. It's not holding athletes to higher standards than others. It's not being a hypocrite by advocating to hold people, including athletes, to higher standards than you hold yourself and your friends. It's not rushing to judgment. It's not using the cliche of holding people accountable, which I have come to believe is a red flag for people who have an axe to grind or don't know what they are talking about. It's not exaggerating or lying about things. It's not being troll-like on the internet.

I'm certainly not advocating that people shouldn't take responsibility for their actions or should not be held accountable at appropriate times. However, I support analyzing and evaluating situations, including incidents like this and crimes, for what they are; ascertaining the facts; putting everything into perspective; and having the appropriate punishment. I have taken no position on the Oregon player. Don't know what he did. In an earlier era, assume that nothing major would have come from this incident.

Never thrown a snowball at a car, that is against the law and it could result in injury. My parents raised me better than that and its why I don't relate well to people lime you that break laws and then act like the law abiding people are in the wrong.

Maybe you need to reevaluate your morality?

BS. Just like you don't drink and drive. I know what kind of troublemakers you and some of your CMR egriz posters were in Great Falls.

PlayerRep just wishes a member of the Griz football team would pelt him with a snowball and dump snow on him. It'd be the first and only time that a Griz player has ever acknowledged him as a human being.
