Talk:Dak Prescott

Should DUI accusations (dismissed as Not Guilty in court) be included on the page?
This information has been controversial: −	On March 12, 2016, Prescott was arrested for driving under the influence in Starkville, Mississippi. Prescott took two breathalyzer tests neither of which yielded a valid result. The first result was an "invalid sample" and the second was an "insufficient sample." On July 27, 2016, he appeared in Starkville Municipal Court and was found not guilty on all charges.

per WP:BLPCRIME, inclusion of a crime for which a living person has not been convicted (in this case charges dismissed) should be discussed before inclusion. At this point I'm just opening discussion, I may or may not comment later. Please remember to be WP:CIVIL, thanks! Jacona (talk) 13:02, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I strongly feel that it needs to be included because many sources have suggested it affected when he was drafted.  . I was about to add it myself before I decided to check the talk page. I'll wait a day or two, but if nobody objects, I'm just going to add it, and if somebody has a problem, we can discuss it further. JDDJS (talk) 01:23, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I have twice removed the section about his DUI driving charge and subsequent acquittal. I agree with User:JaconaFrere, per WP:BLPCRIME; he was found not guilty.  Of course there will be news coverage of his charge and trial, but Wikipedia is not a newspaper.  The article also contained text inferring the DUI charge "caused Prescott to fall lower in the draft." None of the 3 sources cited provided evidence of this; the sources were journalistic speculation and the text was removed per WP:NOTGOSSIP.  Magnolia677 (talk) 10:39, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This tidbit has no encyclopedic value. Lizard  (talk) 15:28, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

RE "Prescott is the youngest of Peggy Prescott's three children, Jace and Tad, while she works as a manager of a truck stop." What sort of atrocious grammar and sentence construction is this? Here's the diff. Pumpkin Sky  talk  02:25, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
