Have you heard about the husband-and-wife Yale professors who resigned (eventually driven off campus by students) for suggesting to their students - in a very tame (PC) letter - that they determine for themselves whether their Halloween costumes are offensive to others instead of following the University's guidelines like sheep? IOW, learn to think for yourselves - that's what college is for. How dare they! There is some very fucked up Salem witch trial shit going on around campuses in this country. Very sad. So yeah, it can take far less than this guy did (sometimes nothing) to get yourself pitchforked on (or banned from) a campus these days.

He was betrayed by someone he cared about and his teammate. He lashed out in anger, because he was screwed over by a couple of pieces of shit he trusted. Shouldn't have said it, but hardly an indication of serious issues. Banging your boyfriends teammate, or the teammate banging the guys girlfriend are far worse than what JR did.

No excuse for that sort of language, and poisonous in a team situation. Never a good reason to go/be racist.

I wonder, though, if the teammate who allegedly was bedding Reschke's girlfriend apologized for that.  Because that's also often poisonous in a team situation.

something like this happening with Prince Fielder's wife when he was with the Tigers and I remember hearing that's why they got rid of Avisail Garcia. As you point out, there is no excuse. Anger and alcohol don't make people say things they don't think, it usually makes them say things they normally wouldn't say out loud.

Came here to make a similar comment. Two idiots. Jamal Lyles, who is rumored to have slept with the gf, was a 5th year senior this past season. I would hope that they would've voted him off the team as well if he were still eligible.

But uhh... at least he waited until they technically weren't teammates anymore to bang her.3-9 wasn't a fluke if that's the type of comradery in the locker room.

I really see one idiot here, and that's Reschke. College girlfriends and boyfriends cheat on each other all the time. You picked a girl who wasn't that into you, we've all done that, but don't throw your football career out the window for it. As for Lyles, yeah bro code violation or whatever but she's not married and he wanted to hook up. We don't know how close Lyles and Reschke were anyway.
