Ron Mexico...the continuing saga
Next week Ron Mexico will be in court instead of camp, defending himself in front of the feds. The head of the Humane Society has once again called for his immediate suspension from the NFL, saying if that doesn't happen, the league's conduct policy is just "words on a page."
Well, dang. If we do that, doesn't that make our entire justice system just "words on a page?" Thinkin' big picture here, the justice system or the NFL's conduct policy...which can we afford being just "words on a page?" Isn't the justice system just a tad more precious? Don't we presume innocence until proven guilty? Isn't that one of the things we do in this country?
I think the guy is guilty. I'd be amazed if he comes through this unscathed. Still, we have to allow for that possibility. What I think, and what the head of the Humane Society thinks, doesn't mean anything. We aren't looking at the evidence. Well, I'm not. I'm assuming he doesn't have it in front of him either. You don't go hammer the guy until you prove he did something. Then throw the bastard in jail.
