Beason's civil trial starts today

[CRA]

Someone please explain - Jimmy Clausen gets jumped leaving a bar and defends himself and everyone here was calling him a trouble maker and poor leader. Beason or one of Beason's boys clobbers some guy at a strip club late in the night and he is a victim?????

Clausen was a college kid, Beason is a paid professional.

also, Clausen looked like he took an ass whooping and Beason possibly gave one.

My .02

I believe that professional athletes, musicians, actors, actresses, politicians etc..should be held to a higher standard than your average Joe. Millions of kids hold these people in the highest regards and often look to them as models to achieve their own goals. My kids may love, respect, and want to be like their Dad, but they don't hang my poster on their wall.

Maybe Beason hit the guy, maybe not. My concern is that my son or daughter may look at this and believe that violence is a justifiable way to solve situations when, more often than not, its not.

Everyone likes to blow off a little steam, but not everyone has the youth of the nation idolizing them. I believe that should count for something.

Go Panthers!!

I don't feel like it goes that deep you are your kids main example, this wouldn't corrupt your parenting.

You haven't met Greg Casey Frye have you? If you had you wouldn't make this statement about this case.

No I haven't met this Frye fellow, but I stand by my point. The NFL promotes itself and its players as role models for the youth of today. Professionals that are in the public eye (and more importantly role models for children) should be able to restrain themselves from using violence (or being around violent situations).:nono:

Go Panthers

I agree, but hero's/role models are just that hero's and role models. I believe they do have an effect on today's youth, good and bad.:thumbsup:

It is one of those live and learn events.Beason is a person of high charater and will learn that sometimes you dont have to look for trouble it will find you.This is a small bump in the road for Beason.Lets hope the judge and jury see through this douche bag.

I think it's unlikely and it'd be wrong if Frye won.

Fair enough. I agree NFL players should be setting a good example.

That said in this case setting a good example is giving Frye what he deserves and has been coming his way since his days at North Meck...karma is a big bitch.

I agree but 90% of the people here appear to defend Beason but probably bashed Clausen for what he did. People find reasons to defend players they like. If Clausen had done exactly what Beason did, 99.9% of the Panthers' fans would be calling for him to get cut.

I am not saying Beason should be cut or anything close, but to defend this type of poor decision making baffles me.

[SorthNarolina]

Have you ever been to Uptown Cabaret?

edit: since its been redone?

I haven't really had a huge desire to head to a strip club in years. I'm sure The Uptown Cabaret is a classy strip club. But strip clubs are more likely to cause trouble than restaurants plain and simple.

I think most fans support Beason because it has been stated time and again, on here and in the court room, the type of person Frye is..If no one knew of Greg and his bullpoo and if he didn't have a previous criminal record of shenanigans the majority may think differently IMO.

I don't know either of these guys but I will say that Beason's friend is the one that got thrown out of court for making a threat to Frye during trial.

I also find it funny that people here are quick to dismiss this Frye cat as a scum bag because he has a criminal record but the same people defended Cam for his record. Reality is people find reasons to support players they like.

I dismiss Frye because I've met him. You'd likely do the same.

Actually, the Uptown Cabaret is pretty mediocre at best.

I think most would agree that Cam Newton has not demonstrated that his criminal record is reflective of his character. It seems like Frye is just born to lose.
