Clem Smith altercation

[Navy Maven]

Cut him loose now, pay his contract out. You either have standards or you don't

Standards need to be consistent though. Would you delist Patrick Cripps if he did the same thing? I dare say not. Punishment should fit the crime. Clem's made a poor choice, but he's also a 19 year old boy and he'll (hopefully) learn from this. If this becomes a pattern of behaviour, then you intervene with a harsher penalty. But you need to give a kid a chance to learn first.
