"I don't know why it's about football players. Why isn't it about student council or track?" Howard asked. "He admitted what he did and he faced the consequences like a young man should."
His father should be jailed for stupidity as well. He's trying to make his son out to be a victim, like football players are discriminated against. Any other student would've had to face the consequences now. Anyone who has ever gone to school knows the football players get preferential treatment, even the ones at schools who lose every game.
Heard that a lot at high school and even more at college (I knew a few football players). I usually said that if I did that, as a non football player, I would have been in jail right then.
I love football, but since my freshman year at college where I got to see first hand what goes on, I haven't been able to enjoy it like I used to. Which being from Nebraska is saying something.
