Miami Strip Clubs: McKinney flagged for too much partying
Twitter would suggest it wasn’t the flu. McKinnie, who played in college at the University of Miami, tweeted Thursday night that he was at Mansion Miami, a nightclub in Miami Beach. Friday night, he tweeted that he was leaving the beach to go to King of Diamonds, a strip club.
“Really?” Houck said. “Well, this really is kind of a unique situation.”
McKinnie missed practice Friday and Saturday. And by “practice” we mean players spending about 45 minutes clowning around with no helmets, no pads and less contact than checkers.
After a league spokesman confirmed McKinnie’s dismissal, he responded to a text from our guy Chip Scoggins. In it, he said his body is hurting, that he’s having problems with his feet and, “I decided I didn’t wanna play.”
…
Instead, McKinnie’s image has never looked worse. But, hey, on a lighter note, check out Twitter. Maybe our Purple hero will tweet which strip club he’s watching the game from Sunday night.
