Miguel Cabrera charged with DUI in Florida

[Brewer Andy]

Man, looking at that picture of him and thinking back to the Marlins World Series...I mean we all saw him get fat but even his face now shows signs of some hard living over the last few years. Look, I like to drink it up once in awhile and I certainly can NOT get drunk without listening to Rage at the highest levels however I always do so responsibly. I agree that those who make the choice not to have a driver prearranged and get behind the wheel deserve much stiffer punishments than they receive

Leagues should treat DUIs with as much, if not more severity than PED usage.

DUI's never break records.

They just kill people.

True, but do they effect the game? Since that is all the rules of the game mandate over.

I am not saying that DUI isn't bad, but there are already penalties for them called laws, it's not the role of sports to work over that.

Employees are held to standards by their employers. Roethlisberger was suspended for a few games despite not being charged. DUI is a completely preventable yet potentially horrific crime that isn't treated with nearly enough severity by anybody (the law, society etc). I'd like to see a league take charge and punish their employees for putting themselves and innocent people at risk.
Most athletes, especially stars like Cabrera, have clauses in their contract that preclude them from taking part in high-risk activities like skiing, etc. Well, DUI is about as high-risk as you can get.

Tyreke Evans was suspended a game for reckless driving.

I don't feel sorry one bit for Cabrera. He was driving drunk by his own choice and could have killed some innocent Mother, Father, or child because Cabrera has problems. Nobody felt the least bit of sorrow for the guy who killed Nick Andenhart a couple of years ago and we shouldn't. We all make choices in life and should be held accountable for them and not look for excuses to get us by. Cabrera does have issues, but endangering the lives of other people is not acceptable. He is wealthy enough to CALL HIS DRUNK ASS A CAB and get the best help in the world and people close to him should encourage him to do so.

Fixed it for you bro!

Whatever it takes to keep him off the road.

Suspend him 40 games

:lol: That won't happen. A suspension won't do any good anyway. Just lets him sit at home and drink even more. Even though drinking appears to be the issue, there is a deeper problem going on leading to the drinking. No one drinks like that without a deeper problem causing it. That's the real issue he needs to deal with.
