That's exactly it. If it wasn't for all stupid stuff he does and the drama he creates he would be a great player. But players are judge on and off the field nowadays maybe more so than ever. He has to keep it together and quit making stupid decisions. He has more talent than almost any receiver in the league.
As much as fans and the media wanna push that his teammates love him he just creates a culture that's unstable among 53 men...there's a reason the Giants had to suspend 4 players and those players felt it was acceptable to quit on the team and complain to the media...at what point is it not everybody else's fault ...enough with the OBJ pandering.
If this was serious enough to be a crime, I'm curious to hear the officer explain why he didn't make an on-the-scene arrest. Good luck with that prosecution. But this is so typical of me-first, look-at-me Beckham. He shows up and detracts the attention away from the LSU team. Now, everyone is talking about Beckham's antics rather than what the LSU team accomplished. Would it ever be possible for this diva to get enough attention to satisfy himself? Will his immaturity prevent him from becoming the player he should become? What's the over-and-under on how many he teams he will play with before he retires? Meanwhile, at the Meadowlands, Dave Gettleman is laughing his ass off.
It's a misdemeanor he's gonna pay a fine and move along...there's not gonna be a trial of the century.
That's what a normal person would do, but we're not really talking about a normal person, are we? If this guy had his way, he probably would try to make it the trial of the century.
This will obviously go nowhere (a fine at most, more likely dropped charges), but ironically ties in with Dominque Foxworth's moronic claim this morning on Get Up that OBJ's actions in handing out money to LSU players on the field after the game were comparable to those of Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in that they represented the moral imperative of not obeying unjust laws. OBJ can go to jail and write a letter detailing all of this just as MLK did.
I watched that...he basically admitted he's more interested in pushing a agenda rather then having a conversation about OBJs personality and how it affects a team...problem is other people are allowed to discuss both.
Will professional baseball, basketball and football players now begin to sue and press charges on their own head and assistant coaches for getting an "at-ah-boy" back slap on the butt while on the practice and playing fields? Good God do I feel bad for these celebrity athletes, they really are targets for society; and now even broke security guards want a piece of the pie - it's disheartening.
