Genarlow Wilson to be freed

Sometimes sports are just less important.

But sometimes it is sports that brings attention to a person who needs it.

This is the case of Genarlow Wilson, a young honors student and former high school football player who was locked up for getting oral sex from another high school student at a New Years Eve party. Genarlow was 17 at the time, the girl was 15.

Somehow, in the ass-backwards state of Georgia, this was considered such a serious crime that Genarlow was sentenced to 10 years in state prison.

Lemme run that one by you again: 10 years. For getting a hummer at a party.

For this horrific offense, Genarlow was removed from school, removed from football, and sent to prison. His future - he was being recruited to play football at several 1-A institutions, and was an honors student - was tarnished forever.

And for what? Because he got head from a girl at his school, consensually, at a party.

If you think I'm not carrying around a love contract these days, you're fuckin' crazy.

Congratulations to Genarlow Wilson. Here's hoping that you can get life back on track after having everything - everything - taken from you. Cheers.
