BYU Player Suspended for Wearing Earrings

So maybe Blackmon was having fun with the media with his Twitter remarks, and who knows what the story really is.

If it isn't they should suspended him for being a liar, which to most people does seem like a violation of one's honor.

He is already being suspended I think

Seems bizarre it's part of the honor code since I don't see how wearing earrings is some violation of one's honor.

Traditionally, only women wear earrings, so wearing them as a man is akin to cross-dressing, for some.

I agree.
sure sucks though. As a byu fan I hate watching good players get suspended for things that they would not be suspended for elsewhere. (keep in mind that im a fan of byu basketball and football and not necessarily a fan of the school itself or the religion)

I dislike the honor code

Harvey unga had sex with his fiance that he had been with for like 5 years and was going into his senior season (holding all the career byu rushing records and possibly the best running back of all time at byu........ though i think its luke staley) and was suspended for the year...... he is married to that girl now so he basically lost his sr year of football, and the team lost a star, because he had sex with his wife.

Then there is the brandon davies story and he gets suspended for the conference tournament and ncaa tourney because he slept with a girlfriend.

As a fan, its frustrating

And this is happening in 21 century USA? Wow. I guess you guys can't complain then that homosexuals can be legally executed in some Arab countries. Same level of darkness.

Are you kidding me? This has to rank up there with one of the most uninformed, idiotic statements you have made on this board. Congrats on looking like a fool.
 
lol, says citizen of the country where you can be suspended for having sex with fiance. Only ones looking like fools are Americans in this case.

Says the guy ignorant of the entire conversation and the facts. No surprise there.
 
AKMVP said:
so suspension because of the sex with fiance is not a fact? My apologies then.

You claiming that it could happen to me shows your ignorance. It was one school and a contract that a consenting adult entered into knowingly.

The simple fact that you even compared it to executing people shows your blatantly horrible bias and ignorance ont he situation.

Good bye.

So expecting students at a church university to live a clean and virtuous life, which includes no sex before marriage, is the same as agreeing with the execution of homosexuals? On what planet? Certainly not mine.

Both situations are result of darkness and religious fanatism. The only difference is that one results in harsher punishment. In 21st century both are absolutely stupid and should never exist. Especially in USA.

Some Arab countries would argue...
 
Question: How well informed are some of these kids before they sign the scholarship? I suppose I speak mostly about the non-Mormon kids out of state. How many of those are there, actually, on the roster?

This is a very good question actually. I would assume that they are given the Honor code to read and sign...anyone able to shed light on the process?

And that part is even more troubling for me. How brainwashed you need to be to ever agree to that? Seriously, students should never even go to university with such stupid rules, maybe than they will be forced to change it. I would never ever let my kids go to any university with rules like dress codes, honor codes, etc. even if they would offer scholarships, free housing and any other benefits. Absolutely ridiculous.
 
Is BYU accepting only mormon faith students? Can atheist/muslim/satanist graduate from it?
 
So somebody a breaks a contract that they willingly signed, and we have some sort of outrage or disgust about it?

Make some of the responsibility lies to the kid, yeah?

Is it a stupid rule? Yeah, I think so. However, this kid still signed the contract, thereby agreeing that he would follow it…I have no problem with him getting suspended. He did not have to go to BYU, he chose to go there, and he chose to break their rules. Pretty simple.
