OSU player suspended for choking Wisconsin QB


iconIf I hadn't seen the video on the news last night, I wouldn't have believed this report about OSU.

Ohio State linebacker Robert Reynolds was suspended one game Monday for jamming his fingers into the throat of Wisconsin quarterback Jim Sorgi and choking him.
Am I the only one that thinks one game suspension is a bit light. Then again, if this guy played for FSU...

Hey, don't you know that if one's an athlete, that they're subject to a slap on the hand and can resume their normal routines?

I was listening to the news last night when the sports report came on. The sports guy was reporting about the Lakers and how anyone expecting to see Kobe play would have to wait - due the injury that was plaguing him. Forget that there's a trial going on. Forget that he stands accused of rape. It's the injury that gets mentioned.

Athletes have always been able to get away with bad behavior. Until there are harsher consequences for their actions, they'll continue to do so.

At least Sorgi was a player. Did you see the footage of the Nebraska player drilling the Mizzou fan after getting thumped by the Mizzou team. Classy guys.

Come on, He said he was sorry.

Not to condone the actions, but the only reason this has become an issue is because it was caught on tape.

That kind of stuff happens during any contact sport, you just don't usually get to see it on the nightly news.
