Great, why don't you just call everyone who does not agree with you a
racist. When you talk about hanging, the term lynching comes to mind.
This list is for NU fans to post their opinions. That is what a number
of people have done.
My opinion is that an athlete gets 2 strikes and he should be out. TO
booted an All American LB, Farley, after his second DUI.
MP, plead no contest (not arguing with the charges and accepting the
punishment for them) to an assault and again for a DUI. Those are 2
separate infractions weeks apart. 2 strikes.
