Franz Beard: Spare me the sanctimony. Please!

[O-town Gator]

"Spare me the sanctimony. Please! For those of you who are gloating over the 30 football players who have been arrested since Urban Meyer became Florida’s head football coach, shame on you. For those of you who are feigning outrage, I’m even more embarrassed for you than for the ones who gloat. You should know better.

In a perfect world, no football players would ever get arrested. They would all be outstanding students, fine citizens on and off the field, and the model of decorum. That’s in a perfect world.

This isn’t a perfect world."

EXCELLENT reading here, gang: http://florida.247sports.com/Article/Spare-me-the-sanctimony-Please-946

Are you kidding? It's "All You Can Eat" at the Sanctimony Buffet!
I can't turn on a sports-talk or pre-game show this week without being hit with some idiot displaying his (self-)righteous "outrage", trying to get more out of the same few scraps than the guy before him.
College sports in general and Gator football in particular are my last real unconditional rooting interests, and this nonsense threatens to ruin even that.
I know it's all BS, of course, but it's frustrating and infuriating nonetheless.
It's one thing to hear it from 'Noles and Canes, the usual haters, but it's getting to the point where ALL Gators are "getting it" from ALL SIDES.
Time to circle the wagons, support our team and each other and hunker down.
I thought this season would be a "bumpy ride", but this is something ELSE.

Kindness of clowns like Mike Bianchi at the Orlando "Slantinel" and others of his same ilk, all this sensationalism is done just to stir the pot and to try an attract an audience on their part. Bianchi knows he's irritating and acts out on purpose; he fools nobody.

I agree with what Franz Beard had to say; in spite of what the media hacks are spewing he's spot-on with this article.
