Agreed. Players should be able to have a good time responsibly. What I don’t understand about celebrity athletes like this is this-
- If they want to go out and party in public, they should know because of the training they get from the NFL in rookie induction that they are going to be noticed- fair or not- and that they should take precautions because some people will try to provoke them.
- There are multiple fun ways to party without putting yourself out there for public scrutiny. Tons of NFL, NBA players and other celebrities go to clubs where they have VIP sections, or they go to a private party in private places where they are not subject to problems like this one with Zeke.
- You don’t have to be a “choir boy” with no fun to be a responsible NFL athlete. But you can’t act like a spoiled HS kid with reckless, immature behavior- especially in a public place. You are just asking for trouble.
I hope Cowboys fans will spare us the unnecessary excuses about “NFL players don’t have to be choir boys”....I get it. But I also don’t think it’s too much to ask any responsible 23 year old to be a man and stop acting like a foolish kid. If you want be treated like a grown man, act like it. NFL player or not.
There’s a difference between having fun as an irresponsible kid, and having fun as a responsible adult. There are plenty of adults in age these days who act like kids in public as evidenced by their obnoxious public behavior at ballparks, concerts, movie theaters, restaurants, etc. If an adult wants to have a party night of getting drunk, high and/or obnoxious, keep it in a less public setting for safety and courtesy reasons.
