Obviously, Maye has every right in the world to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That’s the system we have here in America, and everyone should be thankful for it.
Having said that, if he was driving under the influence, then there’s simply no excuse for his actions.
I’m all about drinking a few cold beers, but you should never get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol.

You’re a danger to yourself and everyone else you cross on the road. It’s just not worth it at all, especially when you have the resources of an NFL player.
Get a damn Uber! Don’t hop behind the wheel of a car.

We’ll see how it all shakes out for Maye in court, but he should be damned ashamed if the allegations are true.
