OT: BYU's Davies reportedly kicked off team for having sexual relations
I just saw this on twitter and couldn't help but want to share it. Davies was kicked off the team for reportedly having sex with....his girlfriend... In a time where football players are reportedly getting paid to play and receiving tattoos or anything imagineable this was pretty suprising to me.

...thank god I'm an atheist!
Point 1: BYU's policy is, for the most part, rather ridiculous.
Point 2: Most religions have some beliefs that when looked at from outside the religion, look pretty ridiculous
Point 3: This country was built upon the right for people to believe ridiculous things freely and without persecution.
Point 4: The country was also built upon people's rights to say how ridiculous other people seem for believing what they do.
Point 5: This isn't some random hypocritical application of an ridiculous rule. This ridiculous rule has been widely known about and applied before. So if you know about the ridiculous rule, either don't break it or don't go to BYU
Point 6: Personally, I wouldn't go to any university that applied draconian rules to my personal life. But that is my choice. When this kid signed on with BYU, he gave them permission to be in his bedroom telling him what he can and can't do. That was obviously a mistake. Maybe next time in his life he will make a better choice.
Transfer to Michigan. I would be okay for a player who likes to have sex with women.
