if you're a "public figure" youre going to face controversy if you make a mistake. things will be magnified in that way because you're a star. however thats the media's job. not yours or anyone else's that post in this forum.

Aw, I see. So because we are not public figures or media members we are not entitled to our opinions regarding athletes.

It all makes sense for me now. Thanks for clearing that up. :rolleyes:

I think I'll bow out of this thread.

Its beyond inanity at this point.
 
And at this point this thread has been driven into the ground. I'm closing it.
 
Report: Melo's lawyer says blood test shows Melo over limit

and like i said it could be just 1 drink. and a DUI doesnt necessarily mean he was drunk.

Just an update on this, but we are not reopening the thread:

Carmelo Anthony's lawyer said the Denver Nuggets forward's blood-alcohol content was above the legal limit when he was arrested on April 14, The Denver Post reported.


"We received notice that Carmelo's blood test came back over the legal limit," attorney Dan Recht said, according to the report. "This is old news in that Carmelo has admitted from the beginning that he had been drinking and driving and he should not have been."


Anthony faces a May 14 court appearance on charges of driving under the influence.


Police said Anthony was arrested on April 14 on Interstate 25 after he was pulled over for weaving and not dimming his lights. He failed a series of sobriety tests. He was charged with DUI and then taken to police headquarters before being released to a "sober responsible party."


A day later, Anthony apologized, saying he was "truly sorry" for his arrest.


"I'm here to man up to my mistake, just to let you know that I'm truly sorry for what happened and everything that's going on," Anthony said. "What happened Monday morning was truly and totally unacceptable."

The Nuggets, who were eliminated from the playoffs on Monday, have yet to punish Anthony, saying they would wait for the legal process to conclude.
