On October 7th, Bowman and Taylor took part in the beating of a Philadelphia man at a party in the campus student center. The two football players were let off the hook with a little more than a slap on the wrist – one year probation, 100 hours of community service and a $750 fine.

The fact that these two meatheads received such a light punishment is a little disconcerting. Why are sports stars -- especially football players -- always treated more favorably than average joes?  In all honesty, I don’t really care about the fight itself. I mean -- if you’re stupid enough to put yourself in a situation where football players want to fight you, then you probably have it coming.

The part that really chaps my ass, though, is how stupid these jocks are allowed to be time-and-time again. Think about it: these guys are given the opportunity of a lifetime – an all expense ticket to one of the top colleges in the nation -- and they continuously blow it. They let their little brains be dictated by their juiced up muscles, and they fight for stupid reasons in front of countless people with surveillance cameras watching them. Seriously, how stupid can you be? 

Perhaps I should stop talking though… before I get into a fight of my own.
