Jeremy Banks Tweet

[RamblenHamblin'19]

I dont care about banks relationship with god. Using "I forgot to pray" before doing something incredibly stupid is just dumb. Glad he is actually taking some steps to correct it now though.

That’s all fine, but what you said originally was ignorant. What he said was stupid, but you don’t have to imply that he’s using his religion selfishly and only to restore his image. You don’t know that at all

 

[lilesrt]

That's a start. At least he knows he was wrong and didnt try to blame everyone but himself. He desreves credit if he is truly trying to change

Second chances seem to work out well for us.. I say give him another shot.

Okay, tell me how im supposed to take "forgot to pray" etc?

 

[Halph66]

He'll be back on the team.

I assume that as well. I don't believe that he should be. But, I understand CJP's desire to mentor the child.

He forgot to follow the teachings of the Bible that he subscribes to

K, so where was I wrong in my assumption?

You were wrong to assume that he was not genuine and was only using religion solely to cover for his mistakes

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Personally I’d be thinking they were an idiot the whole time I was laughing at them.

I’m probably not as sensitive as you though....

Lol okay. He ain't coming back.

 

[m1al]

Lol okay. He ain't coming back.

He’s probably not going to get that.

Oh okay, I understand your point now thanks, ill rephrase. I hate when people use religion as their excuse for not being a decent human being whether geniune or not.
But his second tweet that was posted was much better to me, that one was much more convincing. Glad he is taking those steps.

It was millenialese for "I fell short, but God had my back anyway."

 

[Volstar65]

Another chance might be what it takes to keep this kid out of serious problems. I don’t know if he has changed his thinking, or is just playing the system. I think he realizes that he messed up and that is a change in itself, because he didn’t seem to be thinking when he was on tape. Sometimes we have to lose something to find something even more valuable. Seems like football is important to him or it may be his character he is trying to save. No matter though, because we all have the wrongs and rights inside us fighting each other everyday. I hope he takes full advantage if given that chance.

That's exactly what it is.

Where would any of us be without grace?

We all hate it, brother

In an eternal van down by the river.

I don't want to judge anyone's sincerity, but he does have a vested interest in trying to rehabilitate his public image. I guess you can lump me in with the skeptics.

I think we should also remember that the arrest video wasn't the only evidence of questionable behavior. Wasn't he actually kicked off the team after a second video surfaced of a completely different incident?

A lost ball in high weeds is what I’d be.

Yes, it was the slapping at a woman and her statement that he had been stalking her (I assume through social media).

Me too.

He said "where I come from, WE shoot at cops". If he would have used they and not we then I could see your point.

Imagine someone saying to you, "Where I come from, we shoot rednecks like you." Would you not take that as a threat? I know I would.

Fact is if he wouldn't have said that sentence he would still be on the team

I'm not disputing that he shouldn't be on the team.

It was stupid what he said. Ignorant of his opportunity as a football player at UT.

But he didn't threaten the cops lives.
