It's time to start making the whole team..…EVERYONE to start being punished with stadium steps or ladders after practice on top of individual punishments and let the team self police each other....oh and fire the entire fast and furious department
You're right, IMO. Based on the overzealous list of ticky tack charges...I'd say, it's either a rookie Officer or there's a target on UGA Football Players. Now, that the Players are getting paid, it seems the City of Athens, may want to get their slice . Hence the rabid traffic enforcement. But....it's the law...so, how can you complain.
Lol....I'm surprised they don't triple fines for UGA Football Players, in Clark Co. [double for backups and scout team participants]. Keep the revenue coffers full, don'tcha know.
Obviously, the goal is for these young men to learn the value of paying attention to detail and taking care of "The easy stuff", like obeying traffic laws and being on-time. Some teenage heads are harder than others, but they all get it eventually, or die trying.
It doesn't require thought. It requires discipline. Like reflexively buckling your seat belt as soon as you sit down...with the same focus you use when you line up for the next play. Nobody, will ever convince me that "Kirby Smart has a discipline problem" or that traffic violations by UGA Football Players is outside the standard deviation of the national average.
IMO...Somebody at the AJC has a hard-on for UGA Football. And...like some of the other reporting going on around the Country…it ignores truth & reality, to create a narrative. The "narrative"???.......[Kirby Smart and the UGA Bulldogs have a culture problem cause they can't drive.] Lol
Go Dawgs...keep it 'tween the ditches.
Clarke is the smallest county in GA., and contains 5 law enforcement agencies. ACC Police, ACC Sheriff, UGA police, State Patrol post, and a GBI office. So, chances are you won't drive far in Athens without encountering some kind of law enforcement. So, it's actually S-T-U-P-I-D to even think you can get away with it. You may for a while, but karma will eventually rear its head and bite you. I've seen it happen way too many times not to believe it.
Ray Goff, Jim Donnan, and especially Mark Richt all had players get in trouble. It's not just about Kirby Smart players. So let all the Blah, blah, blahs come in and let the Athens Clarke County Police department have their mentions on national sports media, with all do respect though, and let's play some football.
"You're right, IMO. Based on the overzealous list of ticky tack charges."
Doing 106 mph in the city limits isn't a "ticky tack" offense. It is life threatening for both the driver and any pedestrian who happens to be on the street. You need to grow up as do the idiots committing the "ticky tack" offenses.
I knew a teacher who had a funny way of punishing students for **** offenses. He handed them a wide, white belt that they had to wear with their shirt tucked in for whatever amt of time he felt neccessary. Everywhere they went. They hated it and caught abuse from their peers and anyone else who knew about it. I thought it was hilarious. He said it made more of an impact than a belt to the butt.
🤦♂️ I’m sick of hearing about this c r a p.
Exactly, anyone who defends someone doing 106mph ANYWHERE in Athens is as STU-PID as the driver arrested.. plain and simple.
I REALLY like the idea of having the SEC take control of punishments for driving-related offenses (as well as sexual assaults and domestic violence). That way, you get a UNIFORM punishment scale for all teams and players, and the coaches no longer have try to "handle it internally." Also, it's my belief that if the league starts handling these issues, that the coaches will somehow miraculously get better control of such matters. Heck, at this point it's worth a try because this is beyond ridiculous, at least at UGA.
106 mph inside city limits, Athens not Miami! Really, no way to rationalize this level of stupidity.
Wow. I wonder how many of y'all take high blood pressure medicine after reading these comments.
It sounds like the athletic department needs someone that checks the current state of the players’ license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance.
