It appears as if current Ohio State head coach and former Florida head coach Urban Meyer has come under some scrutiny in light of his former tight end Aaron Hernandez being arrested on a murder charge. Supposedly, Hernandez had gotten into at least one fight while at the University of Florida and there are rumors circulating that he failed multiple drug tests while playing there. Whether these claims and rumors are true or not, however, why should Meyer and those like him face such scrutiny?
I don't know the Aaron Hernandez story. I haven't been around to experience his autobiography first-hand. Who has other than himself? So, to pass judgment on the guy out of pure ignorance wouldn't be the wisest thing to do, in my opinion. Even though the public may not see things in such a manner, Hernandez is innocent until proven guilty. If the former New England Patriots' tight end is found guilty, however, while I can fully understand people - the media in particular - seeking answers on what may all have factored into Hernandez becoming the kind of man who could resort to such a crime, he'd be the one having to spend a good deal of time in jail. Urban Meyer wouldn't be spending any time there. Hernandez's parents wouldn't be either. I know scapegoats are quite popular, especially with the media. However, at the end of the day, if Hernandez is found guilty, the media will have to look at the man as he will have to look at himself - guilty and going away for a very long time.
