Why do Sports websites run articles on FORMER Gator players & their Indiscretions

[Jeff from Jax]

Report: Former Florida Player accused of legal indiscretions. Several articles like this in the last ten days - why ?

It's not related to UF vs a sprcific opponents on the field; it sheds no light on how the Gators are doing.

These citizens headlined in these articles have not had their day in court and are presumed to be innocent.

Yet this negative publicity injures them if the case move forward to trial !

They are no longer associated with any Gator team or the University of Florida, & haven't been for years.

Are they this desperate for readers ?

Or are they just trolls; looking to tarnish UF & the Gators ?

I can read about people & their legal indiscretions anytime I want. I don't want it jammed down my throat when I choose to explore sports news.

Yet these websites are constantly asking people who do follow Univ Florida athletics to buy this or support that.

Go out of business & starve you as%* wipes !

Why would you print your post if you are upset that people do what you say?

Do you see the hypocrisy?

Hit them where it hurts - in the wallet !

I urge an economic boycott of these sites.

Articles for the most part are poor, and their discussion boards non-existent !

Do NOT spend any money with them for premium (so called) services !

Do not go on these sites as documented clicks translates into increased ad revenues.

Keep these actions up until they apologize in print on the front page of their website & promise to post no more detrimental, unsubstantiated articles on Gator athletics.

Happens for FSU as well so don’t feel singled out.

To raise awareness !

To urge a boycott of these sites !

I did not quote the player's name or attribute the article to a specific website.

Heck many Sheriff's now keep people's picture and record of arrests for all to see now regardless if charge was bogus. One thing where records being so open isn't right all the time. The reason FL has the most nutty stories as it's easy for press to check all arrest reports unlike many other states.

Fever,

The presumption of innocent until proven guilty has obviously flown out the door.

A change of venue would not help if it goes to trial.

Entire jury pool contaminated !

For the most part, they are liberal / socialist / Demorats, so vote accordingly on election day....
