Re: Alvin Kamara Arrested
Injuries tend to happen when you get beat up. So yeah, I’d say drama. Dude picked a fight with a group of grown men (professional athletes at that) and lost. **** happens. It ain’t like they shot him in his back while he was running away or something. He lived to tell his story and make some money off of it. Suspend Kamara for 2 to 4 games and let’s move on. He didn’t lose any respect on my end. Let’s play football.

Re: Alvin Kamara Arrested
I'm wondering if this might be pertinent to the current discussion.

Re: Alvin Kamara Arrested
It could have happened but it didn’t. I can’t judge everything through the lens of what could have happened. If dude would have died I’m perfectly fine having a different conversation, but I still wouldn’t lose any respect for Kamara. That would have been an unintended consequence of their actions. We all know they weren’t hitting the man with intent to kill.

Re: Alvin Kamara Arrested
Sometimes we do. Sometimes we don’t. None of us are so perfect that we do everything by the book on the off chance that something bad could happen. Driving above the speed limit could be dangerous and result in the death of yourself and others, but I’m pretty sure we all creep over it from time to time. I come from places where people get jumped on all the time. Different lived experiences I guess.

Re: Alvin Kamara Arrested
It just doesn’t bother me like that. Maybe I’m desensitized to violence, but I don’t even blink an eye at the situation. I watched people get jumped into gangs. I watched people get jumped in clubs. I watched people get jumped in locker rooms. It just doesn’t register as a big deal to me.
