Reading clearly isn't your strong suit, as I already stated Butler's rumored misdeeds were "alleged."
You can miss me with all the extraneous, faulty analogies.
Sometimes you can inadvertently cut off your nose to spite your face! The bottom line is that the severe punishment (rumored) handed down by Belichick doesn't fit the purported violation & his decision to bench Malcolm Butler (only using him for special team play) in the Super Bowl was not only short sighted, it was egotistical & selfish, especially in a team oriented sport like Football. So not only did Belicheck's coarse actions (for whatever reason) cost him and the Patriots organization a possible Superbowl & additional acclaim in the history books, your best Cornerback is also a free agent next year & after this fiasco, more than likely won't resign with the team.
You just validated my original premise without even realizing it!
You don't give someone 10 years in prison for jaywalking. There are different levels of action or discipline that one should take depending on the severity of the situation. Furthermore, it's evident your comprehension is sorely lacking, as I distinctly mentioned in my prior post Malcolm Butler should have been punished if the allegations against him are/were true, but that the harshness & timing of the discipline was questionable.
The whole point of my post is that the timing of a punishment shouldn't matter, and if rules are broken, then for consistency's sake you don't just skirt that shyt under the rug because it's inconvenient to drop the hammer at that time. You check the offender when they fukk up, regardless of when that is. Going back to my analogy, if your girl fukks up, you shouldn't wait until after she gets you J's or whatever the hell for Valentine's Day before you check her. You nip that in the bud when she fukks up so in a perfect world, she doesn't do the shyt again.
If Butler had done something where he warranted being benched, then it doesn't matter if it's Week 1 or the Super Bowl. I don't know about you, but smoking weed/missing curfew/blowing up at coaches -- i.e. showing up to work late, showing up intoxicated, insubordination/disrespecting fellow co-workers -- are not things I'd term as an "insignificant infraction."
That kind of shyt should get people sent home, fired,
'd. Or in a pro football player's case, benched. Not that it really matters, since we don't know the specifics, but IF that is what happened -- I based my post off of a hypothetical, as you clearly comprehended -- then he more than deserved to be benched, timing of it be damned.
@ your Bill Belichick & the Patriots "consistency" & "standards" regarding disciplining players.
