Yes, he is lucky he didn't hurt someone, a bad choice he will remember for a long time to come! He will pay his dues for this mistake. Now let it drop! 2017 season around the corner, let's focus on the positives!
The day we don't treat a DUI as a big deal will be a sad day.
We have every right as a fan base to be upset at a scholarship athlete committing a crime that endangered himself & others. Connor purposely put himself in a bad position by choosing to drive after having that much to drink. No sympathy for him at all.
So we can put you in that VERY select group who's NEVER gotten behind the wheel after a few?
If I were to go get a DUI tonight, I would not have a job to come back to Monday. I would lose my car insurance & due to the loss of my job, I would probably lose my house. I would not expect anyone to feel sorry for me or make excuses. With the availability of cabs, Uber and friends, there is no excuse to put yourself in that situation. I am not saying Connor should be kicked off the team or he should be treated any differently than another member of society. I don't hate the guy and I know he wont be the last in a long line of Griz to get a DUI in the future.
If the reports are true that Connor was three times the legal limit then that was clearly his choice to put himself in that position. As a member of the football team, you are held to a higher standard, whether that is fair or not. All I am saying is we should not get to the point as a society where we write off a DUI as some minor offense.
