As Auburn University football coach, Tommy Tuberville - now running for the Republican Senate nomination in Alabama - handed down a one game suspension for a player charged with raping a 15-year-old girl.




Probably means he'll get the nomination in Alabama................

1. I bet fans felt he was being a little too tough.

2. As Jeff Tiedrich might say

It's a good thing the athlete wasn't caught selling loose cigarettes. There are serious consequences for that.

3. Perhaps his excuse is that the girl was provocatively dressed in her sweater, jeans and parka. 🤔

.

Note: I don't know what she wore, but proffered absurd clothing to emphasize the 'blame the victim' excuse.

4. I hate this bastard

5. Tuberville campaign (bus) in flames

Wednesday evening, the campaign bus for Tommy Tuberville, Donald Trump's preferred candidate in Alabama's GOP primary for the US Senate, burst into flames and melted into a complete loss. The bus was on a test drive after some maintenance, and the driver, the only person aboard, escaped without injury.

Just in case you're keeping track of obvious metaphors from the creators of the "2020" simulation, the bus fire preceded by one day a Washington Examiner story, published last night, that details how, when Tuberville was the head football coach at Auburn University in 1999, he gave a mere one-game suspension to a football player who'd been charged with second-degree rape in a case involving a 15-year old girl. The athlete, Clifton Robinson, was 20 at the time, and pleaded to a reduced charge of "contributing to the delinquency of a minor," a misdemeanor.

6. Everyone was taught a good lesson that day

Without the suspended player, Auburn squeaked by its bitter rival Appalachian State (yeah, I know, who?) in a 22-15 nailbiter.
