Not The Kind Of Nudity That We Want From College Students
In news that caused me to shake my head and go ew, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have had to kick two wrestlers off of their wrestling team. What for? For having naked pictures of themselves put on the Internet, that’s what. From ESPN via wherever they get their stuff from these days:
Two Nebraska wrestlers, including one who won an NCAA championship in 2007, have been dismissed from the team after posing naked for videos and photographs on an Internet pornography site.
Paul Donahoe and Kenny Jordan were let go Tuesday, three days after a blog posted images of them taken from Fratmentv.com, a Web site featuring naked or partially clothed male athletes.
“The history of behavior of these men, including the current matter, does not reflect the standard of excellence we aspire to on and off the mat,” coach Mark Manning said in a statement. “We have outstanding student-athletes in our program and we will move forward in a positive manner toward our goals.
“I want to personally apologize for any embarrassment that may have been caused for our athletic department, the university and our fans.”
But, at least this guy has their…ahem, backs:
John Marsh, who operates Fratmentv.com and two related Web sites catering to gay men, said he’s spoken with Donahoe and Jordan and that both indicated they want to continue as college wrestlers. He said Donahoe was a “dynamite” wrestler.
“If Nebraska is going to be pigheaded and kick him off unreasonably,” Marsh said, “there has to be another wrestling program that’s going to want him.”
Marsh said most photo and video shoots are done in Los Angeles, where Fratmentv.com is based, but that some are done at other locations. Members of Fratmentv.com pay $24.99 for access to hundreds of images and videos.
Marsh wouldn’t say how much he pays models or how he hires them.
“It’s not money that they would be making working as a waiter,” he said. “They get well-compensated. It’s better than beer money.”
I don’t know, beer money sounds like pretty good money to me. I mean, there’s enough comedy in the world without me contributing to it like that. I am content to contribute to the worlds laughter through this website and not through posting pictures of my garter snake for the whole world to see. There’s just no need for any guy to do that, right Sean?
There’s also some small irony in this happening on a team nicknamed the Corn Huskers. If you can’t figure that one out, I’m not going to help you with a visual. Boy, if this had happened with say, the USC beach volleyball team, it might be the greatest story ever. As it is, I’m a little creeped out by it. I mean, I guess what they did wasn’t really that bad, but it’s completely deserving of a dude and a smack to the cranium. It would be funny to know who narced on them though. And exactly how this news came to the athletic director’s notice. Hmmmmm.
Damn, I’ve got to be extra careful how I tag this post. If I’m not. this could go all kinds of bad.
When it comes to wrestlers posing nekkid, this ticks me off so much. Trish Stratus won’t pose naked, but these two clowns do. Oh well, they’re the ones that will have to live this down. The baseball player who did a gay porno thinks they may have trouble going on with their lives. Time will tell. Now allow me to give you guys out there something hot to make up for this post (forgive me ladies, it’s the dog in me):
Now give me a thong shot:
That’ll do, that will do.
It’s much easier to tag this post now.
