Anyone Curious As To Why Douglas Is Being Treated Differently Than Other Fallen Stars?

If this were happening to JP Prince, he would have done something illegal.

And no, we dont all 'know' why. We all make assumptikons. Alot of us like to blame everything on racism, though; so that's where their first assumption goes.
My first thought was that he's a good old hometown boy with an alum dad, not so much race. There's a mad rush to protect Douglas and sweep things under the rug, "Let's not be too harsh, let's hope he gets his life together". You think anyone would protect JP?

If JP were a left tackle? Helluva lot more likely... A Left Tackle with both parents as former UT lettermen? Heck yes. JP Prince the basketball player? Yes, I think SOMEONE would...but not as many. Race probably has a bit to do with the dynamic, too (both for and against actually)...just not as much as everything else IMO.

Personally I wouldnt really care one way or the other about JP Prince the BBall player in this situation, because I dont really follow BBall. Probably a whole lot of UT fans that are in the same category if I had to make a guess. People will pretty much defend the star football player until the end regardless of any other factor, with the end being 'until the very last second which the defense is even remotely plausable'.

So, what you are saying is that your comments about the existence of UFO's is BS. Sfterall, there isn't recognized proof of their existence.
Uh no. My comments on the existence of UFO's is my OPINION. I certainly not a fact.

And that is about the dumbest analogy I can think of.
