Raiders middle linebacker Rolando McClain told CSNBayArea.com that he doesn’t see any reason why he shouldn’t play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Coach Hue Jackson isn’t ruling out the prospect, either. Jackson told CSNBayArea’s Paul Gutierrez at the team hotel Saturday in Miami that he has yet to make a final determination after meeting with McClain on the heels of McClain’s arrest in Alabama on four misdemeanors, including third-degree assault. “We’ll see,†Jackson said. “I feel very comfortable that we’re getting down to the issues with him. This is something he has to learn from, we all have to learn from. I will make the best decision for the organization and the football team.†Source: Oakland Tribune
Bench him, it will help when the league reviews his conduct and will show you don't support all his off the field shenanigans. Teams need to show far more responsibility when it comes to the actions of their players on and off the field instead of just letting the league deal with it all.
did he plead guilty/admit he did it? if so, then he should probably be benched right now. otherwise, the team and/or league should wait until all the facts are out in the open before doing anything.
