Would you let your child play on Snoop Dogg's youth football league?

In 1990 Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr. (AKA Snoop Dogg) was charged with cocaine possession. In 1993 he was charged with possession of a gun by a felon. He received 3 years probation. In 1996 he was charged (but acquitted) of murder. In 2006 he was charged with possession of a deadly weapon. In 2007 he was charged with felony gun possession and marijuana. He received 5 years probation and 800 hrs of community service. Of those 800 the judge will only let him serve 400 on his youth football league. (Why any at all?) Here is the clincher.

His lawyer, Donald Etra, said of the youth football league, "Snoop's position is he wants to give children and teenagers an example to follow."

HUHHHH!!??!!?? What example?? How do the rich and (in)famous get away with this? Why do we let them?
Answer:
Amen. The guy is fun to watch, but I wouldn't let my kid get within a zip code of the loser. He is a thug buffoon.
because juries are comprised of those too stupid to get out of jury duty
He's also a pornographer and a drug abuser. No I don't think I want any kids anywhere around him.
Sure why not, at least I know what he is guilty of.
Smedrik has a point -- think of all the youth coaches who you don't know their backgrounds and we let our children loose with them!

Personally, I doubt I would let my kids go without me being in earshot everything that was said to them, and I look at it this way.....there are not nearly enough youth programs that are affordable for all parents, and I would rather see this thug putting something back into the community that will benefit children then buying another BMW with the money.
He's not exactly a role model, so the answer would have to be no.
I agree with Smedrik...
Besides some of today's coaches are potential killers/murderers given their behavior at not just football games, but baseball, basketball, etc.
The reality of the matter is that Snoop has done some good, despite his drugs use and possession of a gun (If I weren't afraid of them and considering today's violent climate, I would carry a gun also. Instead I have limited myself to 'mace').
But no, if I had a child, I wouldn't want him to be a part of Snoop's football league. Let's just hope that NONE of the players follow in Snoop's footsteps.
==============================...
Oh and yes, many of our most famous celebrities/movie stars/entertainers carry guns and are drug users. Some have also appeared in criminal courts. Some have "done time." Some have "gotten probation".
But.
Millions still like them, rush to see their movies and attend their concerts, and some even "want to follow in their footsteps."
Do you get it?
THIS GUY is my favorite music artist...yes, he has done drugs...got into much trouble...but look at lot of those celebrities out there.....they have done worse.....I have no kids, but if I did....hmmmm...yeah, I would let little junior play with the other guys...
