Just like most people will never be in a serious car accident. Bottom line, they don't report "three players went to the club, had fun and went home" which happens thousands of times per season. ONE incident happens and all of a sudden "nothing good happens". I personally have seen NBA players for other teams during the playoffs in nice clubs here, and its not a big deal.
getting stabbed at 3pm minding your own business in the suburbs...not the same thing as getting stabbed at 4am in a club in the city. I guarantee you alcohol was involved here as well.
It's about personal responsibility. Thabo & Pero made a poor decision...and ended up in jail.
I doubt team leader and captain AL Horford, devoted husband and new father was at the club at 4AM on gameday.
And as a black man let me reiterate...nothing good happens at 4AM. I've seen too many young brothers shot, arrested or otherwise during the wee hours of the night. And there reasons for being out that late are NEVER positive/productive/responsible.
Going to the club on gameday...bad idea. Staying out til 4AM in NYC and getting arrested on gameday...COMLETELY YOUR FAULT.
But I digress. I will resign before UGA shuts me down for having an unpopular opinion.
First....lol! I think the same thing in threads around here.
But 2nd, like I said you can name incidents where something has happened...the problem is there are MILLIONS more that nothing happened. Despite what we want to believe, getting arrested at the club is a relatively rare occurrence. And lets not act like all clubs are created equal. They weren't at the NY equivalent of Central Station. Going to a upscale club is no more or less likely to lead to an incident than a late Applebee's run.
Look at it like this, Chuck E Cheese has quite a few incidents that has occurred there...yet we wouldn't blame a athlete for going to chuck e cheese with his kid because 99 times out of 100 nothing is going to happen. I see upscale clubs as the same. I am never going to be okay with players going to trap clubs, but there is a reason Jordan would be in the Gold Club IN THE PLAYOFFS. because his type of thing generally doesn't happen at good clubs.
