Went to post this in a North Mean Green Denton newspaper but didn't have a password or account so didn't want to waste all this. The headlines read " Two North Texas football players arrested for shop lifting".They walked out of Wall Mart carrying two flat screen TV's..one player is the starting linebacker...No one knows what the punishment is but both have been suspended.Sig one of the players tweeted the other day" thanks for the 2nd chance".So I guess he was told he's not being kicked off. Rumors are that they won't miss any games.NT lost all their linebackers and are so thin at that position..of course that should have no baring...I was responding to someone in the newspapers but couldn't post it..anyway thought I would put it in here...
Think these two knuckle heads should be suspended for a game or two.Not asking for a death penalty unless they have been on thin ice before.As a Coach, Athletic Dir. and High School Principal for the past 38 years you want to be fair.I know HS is different then college and all schools have their own code of conducts.You want to punish and be fair at the same time.Each school has its own rules.At Florida St or Miami this could be a slap on the wrist.{ just using those schools as an example}
We don't know all the details of the incident but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out.At my HS your season is over.I had two star basketball players suspended for the season for making bad choices.Both were 17 years old and lost one of them just before the NY State basketball final 4.One of them learned from his mistake and is a NYC fireman.The other went to UMass on a basketball scholarship and his junior year got into trouble again.
Sed, I guess through his tweet is getting another chance.Hope he understands what he did.Hope he can become a better person. The only thing I will say is that after being a building principal for 15 years when you get caught its not the 1st time.No one has ever won the Mega Million Lottery playing the 1st time.No one has ever been given a ticket speeding for the 1st time or have rolled through a stop sign and been ticketed.No one has ever been caught skipping school,leaving early,etc the 1st time without getting caught.I have 4 kids and when ever they did something wrong believe me they had done it in the past.
No one has ever walked out of a Wall Mart shop lifting for the 1st time and been caught.Maybe their might be an exception to that. Sid, I hope you and your partner get your act together..maybe sitting out a few games might make you realize what you did.The ball is in your court..good luck
And hopefully we can beat U. Texas in 6 weeks...
