ATHLETIC ASSHOLES

[username]

This is what the police and laws are for. God damn, it's completely reasonable to go through the justice system. I'm not sure I agree with employers meting out their own punishments unless the crime relates to work. Firing an accountant for theft, disbarring an unethical lawyer (aren't they all anyway?). I don't know but it just seems to further our nanny state mentality. In the old days, if you went in day after day and performed your job well, that was it. If you went to jail, bye bye job. Now employers are all in our lives...checkin' out your Facebook, firing you for things that may have nothing to do with your ability to do your job well. Meh. As much as I abhor some of the crimes, I think the justice system should be meting out the punishments and any employer actions should largely be subsequent to that.

I think Ray Rice ought to be able to play again. Not to mention (again) that by cutting him, his wife has now been soundly punished for the whole event monetarily. It's fucked up.
