As you probably know by now, star Georgia running back Todd Gurley has been suspended indefinitely for allegedly taking money in exchange for autographs. This is a huge blow to the Dawgs, and Georgia fans are not taking this lying down, which is why they're petitioning the President of the United States to pardon Gurley of "any possible wrongdoing."
Georgia fans petition White House to pardon Todd Gurley
This will definitely work.
As of about 9:30 am ET on Friday morning, over 3,500 people have signed the petition. 100,000 signatures is the benchmark required to get an official response from the White House, so a presidential stay of this suspension is probably not coming before Georgia takes on Missouri on Saturday. However, since this is the Dawgs we’re talking about here, and thus a matter of vital national importance, I’m sure President Obama can make an exception to the rules.
If the strained muscles of our great democracy cannot overturn a silly suspension over autographs, then perhaps its time we start considering a new system of government. Maybe one that runs the dang ball.
