www.heraldstar.com has a nice piece from a Steubenville councilman on the front page of the Herald Star on 8-20-14 . It pretty much sums it up and maybe some of you cavemen can get the jist just a bit.

You just linked a website that doesn't exist, idiot.
And what does the opinion of a councilman elected by a bunch of mouth breathers matter to anyone else in the civilized world?

Again, don't the locals get that a huge part of the issue is that a councilman's opinion doesn't matter? Nor that of any of the school administration? One person has been given dictator power, and people either act shocked that this isn't acceptable or that the decisions he makes are proper, done for the correct reasons. Delusional and in denial.

While arson is a definite felony and there's no way I'd want that kid having a privilege like being part of an extracurricular activity, at least it's not a "potentially can easily ruin a person's life" thing like the sort of brutal rape-related shit that went on there (the subtle difference between a bad criminal act and a disgusting one). Also, you at least can say that between 13 and 17-18 that a lot of maturation could go in an adolescent's brain and he could have been a completely different person by then, as opposed to a younger high school student doing something, eventually going to trial, going to jail and then being an older high school student getting to essentially pick up where he left off. And, of course, there's nothing in your paragraph stating that Anonymous had to blow that case wide open so it wouldn't be quietly swept under the rug or that the state AG office had to get involved in order to ensure the perpetrators actually had to face any sort of justice.

Or tl;dr -- neither should have been allowed to play, but Steuby is more of a "WTF is wrong with these dipshits?!?" sort of bullshit decision.

Just an opinion though...
I agree, the fire did not hurt anyone and I don't remember it being a huge deal that he was allowed to play. Plus the years in between made it feel much less fresh in the communities mind.

And FYI - the fire starter is now serving 30+ years for a murder he committed in his early 20's.

How about this since we are bringing up diff things that have happened.

3 players set up a fake dear in the middle of a road just passed a hill or curve. A car comes by, swerves to miss it and the two HS kids in the car crash and are severely injured. The kids get caught, go to court and get like 60 days detention....only to have the judge tell them they could serve the time AFTER THE FOOTBALL SEASON?!?!!?!?

What you think about that?

Believe at least one, maybe all three, also got caught drinking late in the season once they pretty much could not make the playoffs and got booted from the team I believe if memory serves me right

The Kenton case. Ridiculous.

If I remember right the judges logic was that football was good for the kids, and I certainly understand that. Sometimes a kid needs the program more than the program needs them. That being said, let the kids attend all football activities - morning lifting, conditioning, study tables, practice, charity work etc. Just don't let them play the games. Make them work their butts off in a structured environment, but don't give them, the team, and the community the reward of them playing Friday nights.

Don't forget that the townspeople went all FWK/Steuby on the injured kids, bringing up how they might have been intoxicated and, therefore, deserved whatever happened to them.

And lulz on Thicktard defending the decision by attempting to post comments by a Steuby council member (aka: just another townie who has a vested interest in the town not looking like a collection of morons).

Yeah, the injured kids were 5% responsible for getting hurt, right FWK??

Easy. Mike Mauk is cut from the same shit-stained cloth as Reno. This has been known for several years.

I grew up 20 minutes from Steubenville and I know plenty about it.

You're just as delusional as the fuckwits calling the shots in that town and at the school.

I think Kenton has the Mauk family on a higher pedestal than Steubenville does Reno. You'd swear Mike is God and Ben and Maty were separate incarnations of Jesus with the way Kenton people act on message boards
