Does that make you a bad person?Alexis said:Jeezus, football players always crashed our parties when I was at UW, and 81% of the time, there were fights. Lambright's kid and a guy in our house had a great match one time. And no one gave a damn. We kicked them out, they disagreed, we'd take exception to their disagreement. Punches were thrown. Noses were broken, teeth were knocked out. And as long as no one spilled too much beer, the party would continue on 10 minutes later.
I weep for this generation. Pussies.

My issue stems from the media trying to paint this as boarderline attempted murder.
"Witnesses said several men knocked Rodriguez to the ground and repeatedly kicked him in the face. The student said. “I came to on the ground with police and EMTs over me.”
That's a lie, but its the one the media is running with.
So you are saying the only people doing any fighting were football players ?
Funny the video only shows one obvious football player and most of the rest of the video looks like normal students fighting each other. This all may never be sorted out in the drunk haze, but clearly something else is going on here besides the simple explanation of football players pounding on people. There are too many other normal sized people fighting other normal sized people. -

I was in the car to take the kid who had a concussion to the hospital, he was bleeding bad. One player punched him in the side of the head while he was arguing with another telling him to leave. The one with the broken jaw was worse off. The pictures in the news were all taken post surgery, his jaw was mostly seperated and his face was covered in blood before they worked on it. He jumped in to protect the guy with the concussion who was already down on the ground.
Go watch the videos (since they've actually been released now) and stop defending the scumbags who sucker punched a party host in the side of the head when they had easily 200 lbs on him, and ganged up on another and broke his jaw.
Everything in the Spokesman article is true, I can't speak for the rest because I haven't seen all of the reports. No alcohol was provided at the party btw, Pullman summers aren't what they used to be. I'm sure you'll have the names you want soon enough, but it's not like the players were hard to recognize at the party.
Preemptive, OK!

Breaking: Pullman police chief is tuff on crime
“We’ve been working closely with the football team and they’ve been good,” Tennant said. “The Leach administration traditionally has been decent to work with. They’re good. There’s just a lot of people involved.
“It’s not just players, but students and normal people as well. We’re talking to a lot of witnesses and people right now. Anytime there’s an event like this, there’s a black eye. We’re dealing with young adults and they make mistakes. Hopefully they learn from them.”

On a side note, I had a flashback to the Wulff era while looking at the uniforms. There was a lot of talk about how big (or small) one WSU team was compared to the others. Near as I can tell, this is three uniforms on three identical mannequins. However, just because of illusion created by color in that picture....the "guy" in the middle looks smaller than the other two. When you look at where the helmets line up, the heights are virtually identical. So, the next time you see two teams on the field and one looks a lot bigger or smaller than the other....it just might be the uniforms as much as anything else.TheGlove said:

At least they left the pillows upstairs, allegedly.
A GoFundMe campaign to pay Rodriguez’s medical bills raised nearly $2,000 of an $8,000 goal as of Sunday.

I think it goes beyond Millennials, it's about a growing insular culture through social media. The internet was supposed to be about broadening ideas and communication, but the opposite seems to be occurring rapidly through social media platforms. People now ignore those whose opinions they disagree with, they de-friend people on Facebook for daring to speak their mind, they censor or downvote stories they disagree with so that they don't have to see them or because they think it's dangerous to let people read or discuss them.salemcoog said:At least they left the pillows upstairs, allegedly.

In the end we're winding up with a culture of people whose only views they ever read are ones they agree with. They surround themselves with like minded individuals who do nothing but reinforce those beliefs. Rational discussion is thrown out the window, critical thinking skills decline, and people become headline only sycophants. Arguing a point beyond a single sentence becomes impossible for these sorts, and when asked for evidence to support their belief, you're met with "Are you kidding me?!"
