I can't believe that all people on here are worried about was the thug popping him gum. He was caught with drugs in his pocket. Drugs that he was going to sell to someone. Yes mom, sell to someones child. Yes mom, I am talking to you. You have blinders on if you think he was just holding them for someone else. Drugs that could have killed someone. My opinion is yes he should be kicked off the team. Who cares what school he plays for and how well he plays the game. I think that again our school board has failed us. What kind of message did this send to the others players of all schools. Its okay for you to sell and get caught we will still play you. Its okay your lawyer will get it postponed til the end of football season. My child plays football but damn well knows that school comes first not football. Not everyone will make it to the NFL. Even if they do has anybody on here ever watched friday night lights? Better watch your knee or you may end up on the back of a garbage truck. I pray this young man has learned his lesson. But, I think that he shouldn't be allowed to play football. He forfeited his right to play when he put the drugs into his pocket.
