I'm sure I could keep digging if I wanted to go with the college game. The top link involved an illegal firearm, which is another can of worms all in itself, that a lot of these players feel it's absolutely necessary to carry guns in these places whether they're allowed to have them or not. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/240427-no-lesson-learned-the-nfl-gun-culture-wont-end-with-plaxico-burress Go read what I originally wrote, the first significant post I made in the thread, my original detailed explanation, my original declaration that I was done with the thread because people were making the same comments over and over that I had already addressed, which I then had to go back on because of how the thread transpired later. If I hadn't seen that DeMusliM's father had addressed me (which I caught on the very first page because I wanted to see if the official account had changed), I would have kept it that way. So you're not allowed to say typically unoffensive things on message boards if there's a chance it could offend the user base? None of these quotes mention a single thing about professional athletes not being allowed to go to bars. The only things they mention are athletes getting arrested after getting into bar brawls, which if anything, strengthens the argument against what you said, because demuslim never ended up arrested. Your entire argument has been based around some reasoning that he should be in danger of having his shit revoked for going to a bar, and that going to the bar in the first place was an irresponsible choice. (which if it is, then about every pro athlete is guilty of being irresponsible, and once again your point is completely useless) | ||

I said they shouldn't be going to bars if (as people in this thread were amply willing to demonstrate) there is a demonstrable risk in doing so. Yes. I just want to annoy the people on this board. Right. I think the question then is where we draw the line for pro-gamers. Where is the balance between them becoming to great a risk for their team, and having some basic enjoyment? We just have a very basic disagreement over this; you basically are arguing that going to a bar is too great a risk for someone to take, because you can break your hand there. I would argue the odds of slipping at a bar and breaking your hand are roughly the same as walking outside if it's icy. I don't think either risk is to extreme for a pro-gamer to take. If you do, that's whatever, but I'll think you'll find (and this thread indicates) that most would disagree. | ||

Man shoots himself in leg - club tries to cover it up for him instead of reporting him to police. http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/story?id=100441&page=1 Man is stabbed repeatedly on a night out - club offers sympathy http://www.absolutenow.com/mugshots/charles_barkley.html Man repeatedly keeps breaking the law (assault etc) and is repeatedly arrested but continues playing professionally (no mention of any teams punishing him or ending his contract) http://www.theindychannel.com/sports/15616227/detail.html Another case of some players assaulting people in a bar and no mention of any kind of censure/punishment from the team. ... I'm going to assume they continue in this manner. So basically you have linked a bunch of news reports that show that some people are dicks and go out and start fights/break the law. How is this remotely relevant to the arguement? Demuslim was not arrested and from the sounds of it there is absolutely no grounds for someone to even suggest he should be. You try to argue that going to a bar is unprofessional and he should be punished by his team, then link a bunch of articles about sportsmen going to bars and not being punished... surely thats counter to your entire arguement, if anything it suggests more sc2 pros should go out and get wasted so people take them seriously as professionals, maybe throw a couple of high drama affairs in there! | ||

All apologies have been accepted, and hopefully we can now ALL put this to bed, and concentrate on his speedy recovery, and whatever else is happening in the community. Im sure that a lot of people are getting bored with this particular topic by now, so lets move on. Regards to all Bens friends from Reg Baker ( Demus father) ps he is looking good. | ||
