NudeTayne Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 8 minutes ago, SBLIII said: Nevada isn't playing. He will be in prison. They might be playing. I'm wondering what the politics of the Raiders being the new cash cow is Vegas will play into this. NFL fans are notoriously low-ethic when it comes to justifying atrocious behaviors by talented players and I could see the league pulling some strings to minimize the black eye of the situation by "making it go away"--no more than a year in jail, an organized/calculated P.R. "awareness" lap for a short time after before it becomes something the announcers and pundits are encouraged to stay away from. @cynicalTayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people, especially first time offenders, get extremely light sentences for very serious crimes. Including those involving death. First time offenders for murdering someone I dont care how you put it you took someones life while driving drunk. Nevada isnt lenient they are going to sentence him some serious time. This isnt florida in which Stallworth got lucky and only served 30 days as they do probation up to 15 year, Nevada minimum 2 years to 20 years on dui homicide.

I'm just arguing that it shouldn't define him as a person, and that locking him up for decades won't solve the very real problem that exists in America. I am not from America so I won't touch that last part. But the league needs to make an example out of him imo. People saying Little, Stallworth, etc got off scott free so Ruggs may too. Nah man, f that. Throw the absolute ban hammer at Ruggs. Raiders get every cent back from him possible. Let him return kicks in the Mexico for all I care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 First of all and more importantly, this is horrible and unacceptable. Someone died for no reason. 1000% avoidable. Ruggs is an idiot. Second, our season is over. Gg to our offense, built around our young ascending wr. I swear we are cursed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he should be coddled. But as someone else mentioned, first-time offenders don't get punished nearly as severely as one would think. My argument is that punishing those who drink-and-drive doesn't solve the reason why people drink-and-drive in the first place. People don't drink-and-drive because they think they are going to crash and kill someone. It is a problem that isn't solved by just waiting until DUI-related deaths happen so you can lock 'em up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nex_Gen Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Horrible. It's hard to fathom someone's life just ended in tragic. And even if you want to empathize with Ruggs because he certainly had no intent, it's inexcusable to do what he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMossIsBoss Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Stallworth only got 30 days in prison and a 1 year suspension. Would expect same for Ruggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullsandBroncos Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Will never understand why players that make this much money don't have a driver when they want to go out and get plastered. Or just pay for an Uber for Christ sake. It's not like every player is insanely recognizable with their helmets off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Gruden was one massive issue but now this is a whole different animal. The Raiders are going to crumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
