Jolly gets busted again
Defensive lineman Johnny Jolly of the Green Bay Packers was arrested on another drug charge. He was pulled over and cops found 600 grams of codeine and a bottle of an unidentified substance with intent to sell them. He was also driving the car under a suspended license. Jolly was arrested in 2008 for having 200 grams of codeine and he got off very easy. He was given another chance and he messes it up by doing the same mistake. There is no way he needs the money that bad. I feel like the courts are not going to take it easy on him this time and he could be facing a good amount of jail time.

In this case Jolly deserves jail time after repeating the same offense once again. He also should be suspended for substantial time whenever the NFL does return. The question is will the court system actually punish him? Or is this just another athlete to get off easy?
ReplyDeleteSome athletes are out of control. Not only do the courts need to step up and treat him like a true citizen, but the NFL needs to get involved. I still fail to understand how a league as big as the NFL can sit there and watch all the stupid acts their players commit. Something needs to be done.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the two above statements. The power that athletes have gained in our society is sickening. The fact the our society would bend the law for professional athletes is a terrible thought. Since this is Jolly's second charge, this should not be taken lightly at all, he should be treated like any other drug user on the street.
ReplyDeleteThis is true, but we as a society allow them to have this power. Athletes are looked up to by a good majority of people in the world and who can really tell them what to do and not do? This I think gives them this sense of perfection and the thought they can do whatever they want.
ReplyDeleteI hate that pro-athletes think that they can just get away with everything. It's so irritating. They should be charged like everyone else would be. They are no different than anyone else so why should they get away free with a lesser or no charge at all? Sometimes they don't realize who is watching them do all of these things. Little kids look up to some of these athletes and they should really watch what they're doing. It's just simple common sense.
