It was just "a stupid mistake," insists the school superintendent. "We want to make this very clear, this kid did nothing that he considered unpatriotic." Another player dared the guy who urinate on the field during the National Anthem. (Tricities.com)

Clearly he did make a choice to urinate during the playing of the National Anthem. He chose to accept the dare because his brain is not sufficiently developed to make a rational judgement. He is an idiot, but maybe he'll grow up and grow out of being an idiot. Researching "patriotism" seems rather a broad assignment.

Yeah, but he's a "good kid" so it's all okay.
If he had been one of the pot smoking kids or had his family come from the wrong side of the tracks, would it still be okay? Or would he have been arrested?

Aah! But it WAS disrespectful and unpatriotic, in spite of his meaning.
Kick him off the team and let him sit out a year. If it ruins his chances for a scholarship... oh well. This is the time for everyone involved to learn your actions have consequences.

Defecating on the flag and then wiping with it, during the national anthem -- now that would have been worth it!

Pissing your pants is a stupid mistake. Whipping it out on the field is pretty much intentional.

AV, I resemble that remark...

Oh they're letting him off easy cause he's a football star. Otherwise they'd be killing him.

What happens when someone urinating is tased? Any explosions, sparks, at least?
Posted by: Sheila | Monday, May 17, 2010 at 10:38 AM
well he was within in his right
and if his right was to act stupid
then, may I say, an ass whoopin' is much deserved

If he wasn't a jock and a good player, he would have been suspended and arrested for indecency.

A most unusual salutation for our stars and stripes.

Former MLB player Rick Bosetti claims to have done this in every American league ballpark.
Before you vilify him as Un-American, keep in mind he played for the Blue Jays and had to stand for the both the American and Canadian anthems.
