You REALLY hate this guy, ha? (I would have strung all your related comments together in one reply, but it's my first day on this board and it's almost midnight by me and so for the time being didn't know how to do it).
Anyway, if you really hate this guy for just a few questionable words (and some low level belligerence) the US armed forces would love to have your energy to go after some guys who actually do terrible things. You must really get angry when you hear about serious transgressions such as rape, murder, etc. See you at the recruiting station?
Anyway, I actually like RI, as imperfect as he is. As I stated in a previous post, let he who is without sin throw the first stone. I think all of us have made a variety of mistakes - if we're honest. I think RI's a good football player too - Whaley, Ryan, Roman, and Kromer must agree with me or they would not have asked him to come to the team. Tattoos - his personal appearance - really? We have to attack that now?
