Colts Let Player Go Following Drunk Driving Arrest

The Indianapolis Colts wasted no time in releasing wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers from the team following an early morning arrest for drunk driving. Rogers was stopped by IUPUI police early this morning following the Colts blow-out win over the Tennessee Titans yesterday for suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Rogers' blood alcohol level registered between .08 and 0.15 according to the arrest record. The Colts management announced their decision to release Rogers from the team this afternoon. Ironically, Rogers was released by the Titans before he joined the Colts after he failed three drug tests. Colts owner Jim Irsay received a 6-game suspension and a $500,000 fine by the NFL after he pleaded guilty earlier this month to operating a vehicle while under the influence of controlled substances.

A different kind of justice for different kinds of people. Just be sure to be a white billionaire profiting handsomely from taxpayers, carrying about $30,000 bagged up cash, pills galore all about you, and driving dangerously around Carmel neighborhoods while hepped up on "pharmaceuticals"......

So, if the owner does the same crime the punishment is substantially softer.
