Re: Alvin Kamara Arrested
Agreed. He probably should be suspended and fined.

Re: Alvin Kamara Arrested
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. |

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. |

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. John 8:7 - "So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." |

Don't quote scripture at me Guido. Like you're morally superior... That's just about the most condescending you could possibly be. Get over yourself. |
