OUTRAGE IN TAMPA !!

6/9/08 – 6/15/08
Well if you’re not a buccaneer fan or you do not live in Tampa then you will have no idea as to what the title ales to. The outrage ales to of how the Buccaneers handle a certain situation, which by the way really do not come into Public eye until late last week here in Tampa Florida

The situation came into play when the Buccaneers released QB Bruce Gradkowski, so where is the outrage from that? Well it’s not from Bruce in case you are wondering. It’s from the move in which the Buccaneers made that them cut Bruce. Two weeks ago the Bucs re sign TE Jeremy Stevens, and that is where the outrage is from, why you ask? I will tell you why right now.

In late January “The Seattle Times “did an investigative report on the Washington Huskies, called “Victory and Ruins” in that, the Times uncovered a lot of things. Among them was that on Thursday morning of July 27th 2000, one of the star players from the Washington huskies had been arrest on at 7 am that morning.

Seattle police detectives, accompanied by a SWAT team, had served a search warrant at the home of Jeremy Stevens and took him away. As that situation, played out Jamey did in fact rape the women, as there were evidence was there. As there was signs of rape on the victim, as the medical staff found semen in her vagina and rectum, and a doctor told the victim that her anus had been lacerated. The witness who reported the incident to police this she had to say about the victim at the time of the crime: “That the women, who was being rape, appeared to be drunk or drugged” Despite all of that, Stevens was never charge in criminal court, only to settle it out of court in a civil case. By way of three hundred thousands dollars, if you want the rest of the details I highly suggest you go to The Seattle Times webpage and look it up.

That alone should get anybody going and upset about why this player is even allowed in the NFL. But Jeremy Stevens, Criminal history does not start their and neither does it stops. Back when Jeremy was in high school he punched holes in the wall, got caught with alcohol and marijuana and kicked a student in the testicles. Then there is this felony assault during a prearranged fight in a park where Stevens stomped on a guy's face. He did get charge for that fight. He also has been arrested for a DUI. To top it all off



When Tampa had originally signed him this is what general manager Bruce Allen had to say:

"He is a big, powerful, speedy tight end," said general manager Bruce Allen. "He has had some off-the-field issues that have hampered him a bit. We had a very serious talk with him today. I think Jeremy Stevens is a good young man."

Regardless The Citizens of Tampa and you can Florida, have every right not to want this person in their community. As every NFL fan should now be just upset as everyone here is in Tampa. This is truly a crying shame.
