If you don't want bad publicity, then don't pee on a bar


To all famous people of the world (celebrities, actors, singers, athletes, and coaches): You’re actions are watched. People know what you do. They care about your lives. If you do something stupid, people will know. And of course, there will be consequences.

Now that I’ve said that, we can discuss Eric Schnupp’s recent embarrassing moment. Eric Schnupp is Baylor University’s offensive line/tight ends coach and is now in trouble for urinating on the bar at a pub in the early hours of the morning Sunday in Waco, Texas. Fortunately for him, he was not arrested but still has to deal with the $258 fine for disorderly conduct and reckless exposure not to mention the embarrassment he now has to endure.

Here’s the list actions that lead up to this very interesting event. Baylor University had returned around 9 pm back to Waco, Texas from their loss to Kansas. Schnupp went to Scruffy Murphy’s, a local bar, where he drank quite a few shots of hard alcohol bought for him. Sometime around closing, Schupp began urinating on the bar for no apparent reason and thought no one could see him. How about that for an explanation of his behavior?

He must have had one hell of a hangover, right? Well now his poor life decisions have him suspended from the Baylor football team indefinitely according to head coach Guy Morriss. I just don’t understand why people like Eric Schnupp don’t understand that they are in the spotlight and their actions affect other people besides for themselves.
