MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cedric Griffin was freed on $50 bail after being arrested early Sunday in downtown Minneapolis and charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct, authorities said.
Griffin, 24, was released from the Hennepin County jail at 4:45 a.m.
Two witnesses told KSTP-TV that the Vikings cornerback was thrown out of the Spin nightclub for not pulling up his pants. The club has a dress code requiring that pants not sag below the waist.
The witnesses said Griffin then had a dustup with bouncers and police before being taken away in handcuffs.
A court appearance for Griffin is scheduled Friday.
A Vikings team spokesman declined comment.
NFL players need to be paid more if they can't even afford to buy a belt.

They say at the site that the "pornstar" look works, but you can't come in looking like you're going to a picnic or coming from the gym.
If I'm reading this right, Griffin was wearing his jeans low slung, which is kinda hard to not see just about everywhere, including libraries and churches.
What is the "pornstar" look, anyway...and how much clothing could that possibly include?
There's something else at work here...something that wasn't mentioned in the article.
What 24 year old man is going to straighten up at the request of a bouncer, anyway?

On the other hand, is not pulling up your pants worth getting arrested?

It's not the pants, it's the principle. . .

Hey man, it's his life. He can sniff whatever he wants on his own time, as far as I'm concerned.

Isn't this the same arguments parents have with their 5-year-olds?
"Pull up your pants young man!"
"I don' wanna!"
CLL is right, he should be humiliated
