Let me describe a mistake. A mistake is drinking and driving. A mistake is getting drunk and mouthing off to a bartender and getting kicked out of a bar. A mistake is getting drunk and getting in a fight.
Let me describe what is not a mistake.
-A mistake is not pushing a female bartender for refusing to serve you. That is an attitude toward women. That is an attitude toward your entitlement to something.
-A mistake is not trashing the bar when you're not served. That is an attitude of petulance upon realizing your every whim will not be served.
-A mistake is not telling the cops you're going to hit someone. That is an attitude of disrespect.
-A mistake is not pi$$ing on the floor in the holding cell. That is an attitude of being above the law; untouchable.
-A mistake is not smacking a guy in the holding cell with you who is also having a bad day (for his mistake). That is a lack of self-awareness that you are in a bad situation and you are about to make it much, much worse.
Sam made a mistake, for sure. Then his mistake brought to light his poor character. And thank goodness it did, we don't need poor character individuals on the floor of UD Arena.
