When will OSU fans stop...

Submitted by RadioSimon1983 on

using the argument "he does all this charity stuff so he must be a good person, therefore he didn't do X"?  Jim Tressel might have done lots of charity work, but so does Michael Vick.  Does that make him a good person?  Absolutely not.  He's a bastard, and we all know it.  I do charity work with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana, but I'm still a dickhead.  Obviously if Jim Tressel were truly a good person he'd have outed those kids the moment he heard about the allegations.

This argument isn't valid.  John Simon's dad is now saying that his kid is a good kid and he's on the straight and narrow.  Obviously not if he's implicated in this.

I understand that OSU fans aren't bright, but at some point a person has to realize that doing charity work does not equal being a good person.  Sometimes people do it to make up for the fact that they aren't good people.

Regarding John Cooper:

"While at Ohio State, Cooper was active with several charity organizations, including Big Brothers/Big Sisters, United Way, the Alzheimer's Foundation, the Arthur James Cancer Hospital, and Children's Hospital."

No one seemed concerned about Coop's charitable activities when they shitcanned him.

Vick is a terrible example.

Yeah, dogfighting is bastardly. He served his time.

He's also notably kept his nose clean. Considering recidivism rates, the guy seems actually reformed with both words and actions. An actual bastard would be having encounters with the law even after jail.

The one thing you're right about is that you're a dickhead.

I've been reading up on this situation quite a bit and I'm starting to get nervious.  Everybody seems to think that Meyer will take the TSIO job for the 2012 season.  What happens if Meyer takes the job?  That definitely can't be good for us.

It didn't hurt us when we beat his Tebow machine.  He'd also be walking into a possible multi-year bowl ban and scholarship reduction.  Then he's got the issue of past criminal players.  He might want to coach at OSU but not with one hand tied behind his back and not without his Dantonio-style prison squad.
