loaf what niner fan on this forum backed brooks? None and from reading niner sites no one is backing him there either. The man deserves prison plain and simple. And no one even brought PED's in this thread
I only went to one Niner site and there were those that are either dismissing this or blamimg Divens. A few quotes from that site.
he was probably drunk too, he acted like he threw the keys in the bushes you dont mess with drunk man 6'4" 260 so he kinda asked for it.
Another:
Brooks was drunk, Divens played a joke on him, Brooks got mad and did something a stupid drunk guy would do. Is this really a story? Divens is dropping any charges because he realizes he provoked it, and things like this get WAY too overblown and harshly punished.
How often does this kind of altercation happen? All the time. If they were 2 drunken college kids this would be a non story.
Another:
Cut Divens for being a snitch
Another:
Divens pretended to throw Brooks keys in the bushes, thats a douchebag move that deserve him getting his ass kicked.
And another:
Those keys were probably to a very expensive vehicle, bottle to the head is an acceptable punishment.
Another:
i normally agree but Divens clearly did. You NEVER pretend to throw another man's keys in the bushes. Divens got what he deserved for that b***hassness move.
Another:
b***h ass divens got what he deserved.
Another:
Divens deserved it... next time dont be a punk scrub.
Another just for fun:
It's ok if it was justified. In this case it was.
And another:
hey man, im not a violent guy or anything but if someone plays with my keys, they gonna get an ass whoopin and they deserved it. you just don't cross that line. i'd rather have some dude bang my wife/gf than pretend to throw my keys in the bushes.
This has logic all over it:
Divens should be cut ASAP.
More:
If somebody stole my keys and did that I'd hit him with more than a bottle. Should have got his gun.
There is more I'm sure, I didn't read the whole thread.
This also is not Brook's first incident.
From an article regarding the event:
2008, when Brooks was playing for the Cincinnati Bengals, he was accused of punching a woman in the face and accepted mediation on the charges, according to media reports. Brooks is 6-feet-4 and weighs about 260 pounds.
Also, at the end of the 2005 season, he was dismissed from the University of Virginia football team because of an unspecified "off the field" incident, according to the university. In 2003, he was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. Those charges were dismissed after he completed the requirements of his probation.
There are Niner fans who believe Brooks should be punished accordingly but obviously it is not as cut and dry as you are suggesting either.
It is also fishy why this event took place on June 8th but no reports or news surfaced until July 2nd and now the case looks like they may be trying to sweep it under the table with the arrest warrant being revoked by higher up officials. We'll see if they press charges and if so for Felony or Misdemeanor. Makes you wonder how many other events have gone unnoticed/unreported.
