It happens every day in every city Epic whataboutism. So, because it happens everyday that means this particular instance isn't a story? One thing is for certain: a high-paid CFL player was charged with a DUI in Regina on the 11th. Spare us the childish deflection.

TBURGESS Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 FTR: He wasn't driving, he was sleeping behind the wheel on the side of the road with the vehicle running. Same charge as if he was actually driving. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't much of a story except to those who want to try to make it into one. C'mon, you're smarter than that. It's always a big deal when a professional athlete gets a dui.

Booch Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 certainly happens everywhere all the time...doesn't make it acceptable or right...and everyone who is dumb enough to do it now still in my eyes is a P.O.S regardless if it's joe nobody or most famous person walking this earth....the fact he was gassed that bad prior to a big game itself just reeks of how much the team lacks leadership and character guys..noting wrong with drinks and some fun, but generally before a game you tend to back off a bit as it will effect you days after from peak performance...

We have a code of conduct we have to sign every year. No, I don't think he'll be suspended, although I think the CFL should have a policy on it. Hughes could probably use the rest anyways. The old man is slowing down with only two sacks since Labour Day. blue_gold_84, JCon and SPuDS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All charges in the Criminal Code are, by definition, criminal offences. Those are broken down into lesser - Summary and greater - Indictable. This is a hybrid charge in that the crown has the option of proceeding either summarily or by indictment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people professional athletes got charged in Winnipeg last night with impaired driving? It happens every day rarely in every any city Pro Athletes should be held to a higher standard. Saying that, I don't think it should be a much bigger issue than a civilian(?) DUI - if it his first offense, just be smart and responsible from here on out.

Of course, it's okay. He's a Rider. Besides, he didn't kill or injure himself or anyone else is beyond fortunate. But the fact he actually used terrible judgement to get into his car & drive in that condition as well as refuse a breathylizer sure makes it a non story in Riderville. Okay. he should be thanking his lucky stars that his stupidity didn't cost a life. JCon, SPuDS, Wanna-B-Fanboy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do or die Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Police were responding to a call about somebody driving erratically on both sides of the road. They then find him passed out from booze in a running vehicle? Football player, politician, or just a joe......doesn't matter - sheer criminal stupidity.

AND that's the gist of it isn't....If you hold pubic office or you have a profile that is considered larger than the average layman you are held and judged to a higher degree.. Hughes has profile in a community and is supposed to set an example...he failed...The law will consider this and in most cases will come down harder on a person like Hughes...These guys in riderville, who are trying to pass this off as a 'oh so what', are going to be in for a rude awakening...The courts AND the court of public opinion can and most likely will be harsher in Hughes case...The team will have no choice but to follow suit...Things to consider before you get behind the wheel of a car, and by your intoxication turn it into a weapon ...Giant fail by Hughes comedygeek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
