Alvin Kamara Arrested

It bothers me that he lost his **** and acted like an idiot. I lost a lot of respect for him. I get it if it was self defense, but running the guy down and beating the holy hell out of him with your buddies kicking and stomping on him is pretty cowardly. Just gross.

Absolutely agree.

That's what society has developed into, he'll be celebrated and admired for his exceptional talent on the field, when the true measure is how you hold yourself in times of adversity.

Agreed. He probably should be suspended and fined.

Oh, he'll no doubt be suspended. Not sure what good the fine would do as it is defined by the CBA as pretty much a token amount. The lost game checks will dwarf any fine he could have received.

Yes, what he did was stupid, as was hanging around his "posse" which probably exacerbated the situation. But, I know I did stupid stuff at that young age. I'll bet many of us did. I will withhold a blanket loss of respect until I see how he responds moving forward.

A fine isn't supposed to do good. It's an additional penalty.

Alvin Kamara is 27 (not exactly a kid) and also one of the most recognizable NFL players and admired by children everywhere.

Stop making excuses for this type of behavior. It's wrong and he's lucky the guy didn't die.

According to the CBA the surrendered game checks are the fine. For example, DeAndre Hopkins "fine" for PED's this season amounts to $5,233,333.50.

And I'm not making any excuses. What the four of them did was wrong. They should have ignored the guy. They will get the punishment they deserve eventually. I believe in second chances. Kamara had a clear record prior to this episode. There's no reason to believe he won't continue as a model citizen from this point on.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. On the other hand, my first martial arts instructor told me to never let an opponent up off the ground because when they do get up they'll be even madder. There has to be a middle ground somewhere. People have to understand that there are consequences. Whether it was the thug hassling Kamara or Kamara learning not to lose his temper.

I believe the "thug", as you put it, got exactly what he wanted. He surely knew who Kamara was and the provocation was there. The guy took to social media immediately setting the groundwork for a payoff. The "victim", Darnell “SquirtBuck” Greene, supposedly called one of the guys ugly and then said, "I'll whoop your ass too."

Once again, Kamara should have just ignored the guy.
