low-level felony

I very much am against discrimination of anybody who has contact with our criminal justice system, but still, lol.

Gotta pump up those numbers. You need 30+ felony counts to be president. Professor probably needs at least a few more.

I think the problem is not the crime he is accused of but the fact that he has outstanding arrest warrants he is hiding from. It would be awkward if all the kids gather for a tournament and as the judge is explaining game rules cops burst in and drag him away.

Dunno either way, it was just his direct quote where he described the felony as "low level" which was funny to me. Generally any felony is quite disqualifying for these corps arguing that's unreasonable is quite a hill to climb.
