[Husker] Code Glenn Suspended

>It is ironic that a player who sells his tickets can get his school put on probation, but violence, domestic abuse cases, DUI's, >or other potential felonies  are not considered by the NCAA at all (not suggesting CG did any of those things).  Tell me >something isn't wrong with those priorities!?!?!?!?


It is a reflection of the strange standards that exist for athletes, and what offenses are deemed acceptable or not, across both college and professional athletics.

For example, Michael Vick fights dogs and the World comes down on him as one of the most heinous villains in the history of sports. Meanwhile, Larry Johnson of the Chiefs is involved in his FOURTH assault on a woman, and Chief's fans are upset that the team (and ultimately the NFL) suspended him and are clamoring for him to return to the lineup.

Neither crime is excusable, but it is interesting that an attack against animals is deemed so horrible while attacks against human females somehow seem more acceptable. Those are strange priorities that I think are substantially off kilter as well (sorry PETA members).
