-If he got caught THIS time blowing a .21, how many other times has he driven blasted and NOT gotten caught?
Who exactly is saying Huggins is a great man?
Please do. Let’s help identify the idiots.
I can find plenty more examples, if you like.
Bob Huggins stood in place for a few seconds while i pointed my phone at him. This makes him a great man

I in no way said she was correct in what she said. Something you don't know about me, when I was 16 I was driving my sister's Chevy Chevette. We had just left a church picnic on the way home when a drunk driver hit us, drove us off the road, and we rolled 5 times down the hill. There were 4 of us in the car. Needless to say I don't condone driving while intoxicated.It was paraphrasing but come on. The letter does him or her no benefit. I've seen what that level of intoxication can do. You wanna excuse someone or let them off some for a level that could kill others and himself? There is no semantics to argue around here. The university was right and she is wrong trying to find a way to say other things he has done offsets this. Also the 60 days in rehab offer is like offering to sit out the first two exhibition games of the season.
She's wrapping up an effort to show him as a victim with a lot of window dressing. It's bad.
Agreed. I'm a little surprised by all the takes indicating he's a horrible person because of this.You can be a good person and an addict. The two are not mutually exclusive. Bob is an addict who needs help. It has nothing to do with him being good or bad.
Agree that being an addict does not make you a bad person.Agreed. I'm a little surprised by all the takes indicating he's a horrible person because of this.
I’m not condoning driving under the influence. In fact, just the opposite, as I’m one of I’m sure many who’s life has been affected by it.
With that being said, there’s plenty of statistics out there that show a large % of the American population has driven under the influence. North of 40% in their lifetime. There’s data that shows 2% of Americans have driven under the influence in the past 30 days.
It’s a problem. It’s a big problem.
But because Bob Huggins made a terrible decision, potentially many bad decisions in regards to driving in the state that he was, does not mean he’s a terrible human being. It means he has a problem. A problem that put others at risk.
He deserved to lose his job. He also deserves help & support in what is most likely a very dark hour for him. Anyone know what typically happens to addicts in dark hours?
We don’t need to hate people because they’ve made mistakes. We don’t need to eradicate all the good they’ve done. It doesn’t need to be a 0 sum game. Life is full of gray.
Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. But in mine, I would choose to lend a hand or support to those struggling, because I too, have struggled.
I condemn Bob Huggins most recent transgression, but I don’t condemn Bob Huggins.
It’s a good question. And I think there are degrees to it… but certainly won’t pretend to have an answer.How many times with him behind the wheel above the limit would make him a terrible person in your opinion?
Or, let’s say he’s driven drunk 1000 times in his lifetime, is he just a man with a disease or can we say that he’s crossed the rubicon into being a bad person?
I’m legitimately asking. I’m not saying people have to be perfect. I’m not saying he hasn’t done a ton of good. But what’s the line?
Genuinely asking. Because while I have deep empathy for what this and other similar diseases can do when they take hold, at what point are we ignoring the people that have enabled this to continue and allowed Huggy to exist in a profession that is insanely lucrative and make millions of dollars and have all the resources at his fingertips.
We’re not talking the guy that got popped one time after a bbq that was young and dumb.
So we can all choose to view this how we want, but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that he’s likely been a chronic drunk driver and at some point, at least for me, there is a line that crosses from empathy to not.
He's more of a horrible person because of his radio show comments which have somehow completely been forgotten at this pointAgreed. I'm a little surprised by all the takes indicating he's a horrible person because of this.
One of the best posts on this board, ever. Thank you for your thoughtful and rational insight.I’m not condoning driving under the influence. In fact, just the opposite, as I’m one of I’m sure many who’s life has been affected by it.

More than 40% of Americans use homophobic language when under the influence.

This is very valid. I agree that .21 is obviously out of control and I’d imagine blacked out.I hear you, but “under the influence” is a big range.
.21 is insane. Far worse than someone who is slightly over the limit, IMO.
