[NU Sports] McGee Fire or Not

[NEONRye at aol.com]

Why don't all of us (including Yours Truly with my "Community Service"  plug) 
slow down and wait for the facts to come out--from all parties  involved--the 
police officer(s) and Coach McGee.  We all know that  everything we read in 
the papers and online is always true and correct, don't  we, just like we know 
that everything told to us by those in power in Washington  (both parties, I'm 
not playing favorites here) is also always true and  correct.  C'mon guys and 
gals, let's not rush to judgment.  If he IS  proven guilty or admits his 
guilt, then his punishment should be commensurate  with his offense (and I don't 
condone drinking and driving in any way, shape or  form).  But until that 
happens, why are we deciding that (a) he is  culpable, (b) the officer must have 
smelled alcohol when the window rolled down,  etc.?  Can we please let the 
system work, even if the wheels of justice  grind a little more slowly than the 
speculation on this list.   
 
Let's not forget NU's Latin motto on its seal:  Quaecumque sunt  vera -- 
"Whatsoever things are true" from Philippians 4:8. 
 
Let the "truth" come out here before we decide to "fire" Coach McGee or  
roast him in our communications.  To do anything less would be to dishonor  our 
Purple heritage.
