Florida suspends QB Jalen Kitna after arrest on child pornography charges

Florida has suspended backup quarterback Jalen Kitna indefinitely after his arrest on child pornography charges.

Kitna was arrested Wednesday after a search of his apartment. He’s facing charges of possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography.

“We are shocked and saddened to hear of the news involving Jalen Kitna,” a statement from Florida said. “These are extremely serious charges and the University of Florida and the [University Athletic Association] have zero tolerance for such behavior.”

Per the Gainesville police, Kitna was arrested after he allegedly shared child sex abuse images on Discord, a popular online communication server. According to the arrest report, Kitna was at his apartment when police arrived.

 

“Detective Montague contacted Kitna at the residence and interviewed him,” the arrest report said. “Kitna stated that he remembered sharing the two images but believed them to be ‘legal’ since he found them online. Kitna advised that he realized he should not have shared those two images based on the reaction from the other Discord user he shared them with. Kitna advised shortly after that his Discord account was deactivated and that he assumed someone reported him to Discord.

“Kitna stated that he received an email from Discord stating that his account was deactivated due to violation of the terms of service. Kitna’s electronic devices were seized as part of the search warrant. Preliminary analysis of the devices revealed three additional images of child sexual abuse material.”

 

Kitna signed with Florida in the fall of 2020 and the redshirt freshman has served as the primary backup to Anthony Richardson in 2022. He’s the son of former NFL QB Jon Kitna and was a three-star recruit in the class of 2021. He appeared in four games in 2022 and threw 14 passes and one touchdown.

Penguins' Kris Letang out indefinitely after suffering stroke

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced on Wednesday that defenseman Kris Letang is out indefinitely after suffering a stroke on Monday.

“Kris reported symptoms to the training staff on Monday and was immediately taken to the hospital for testing,” said general manager Ron Hextall. “The test results were shocking to hear, but we are grateful that Kris is doing well. We are thankful to the medical staff and the physicians at UMPC. He is a warrior on the ice, but first and foremost, he is a son, father, husband and friend. His health is our number one priority.”

Letang is not experiencing any lasting effects of the stroke and will continue to undergo tests in the coming week. His career is not believed to be in jeopardy.

“I am fortunate to know my body well enough to recognize when something isn’t right,” said Letang. “While it is difficult to navigate this issue publicly, I am hopeful it can raise awareness. It is important for me that my teammates, family and the fans know that I am okay. I am optimistic that I will be back on the ice soon.”

Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan shared his initial reaction to hearing the news, but was encouraged to hear his star defenseman will be okay.

"We're all concerned for Kris, because we care about him, you know? Stroke is a scary word," Sullivan said. But from all the preliminary tests to this point, it appears that this one was much less severe than his last one, which is very encouraging."

The 35-year-old suffered a stroke in 2014 and missed over two months of action. At the time, tests revealed he was born with a very small hole in the wall of his heart. Since his return from the stroke, Letang has played 543 regular season games and made 69 playoff appearances.

USN E-6B Mercury 164409. Call sign DAGON77.

 

Dagon was the chief deity of the Philistines, and the worship of this pagan god dates back the third millennium BC. According to ancient mythology, Dagon was the father of Baal. He was the fish god (dag in Hebrew means “fish”), and he was represented as a half-man, half-fish creature. This image furthered an evolutionary belief that both men and fish had evolved together from the primal waters. Dagon may also have been the provider of grain. So Dagon was similar to many other idols in that he personified natural forces that had supposedly produced all things.

 

There are three places where Dagon is mentioned in the Bible. The first mention is Judges 16:23, where we are told that Dagon was the god of the Philistines. The Philistines offered “a great sacrifice” to Dagon, believing that their idol had delivered Samson into their hands. First Chronicles 10:10 mentions a temple of Dagon in which the head of King Saul was fastened. Then, in 1 Samuel 5, Dagon is brought to humiliation by the True God of the Israelites.

 

What an interesting story is found in 1 Samuel 5! The Philistines had captured the Ark of the Covenant, and they “carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon. When the people of [the city of] Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon’s temple at Ashdod step on the threshold. The Lord’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation on them and afflicted them with tumors. When the people of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, ‘The ark of the god of Israel must not stay here with us, because his hand is heavy on us and on Dagon our god’” (verses 2-7). Who says God does not have a sense of humor? This has to be one of the more funny passages in the entire Bible. For further reading, see 1 Samuel 6 for the account of the Philistines’ attempt to solve their dilemma—with golden rats and golden tumors (or, as some translations put it, “golden hemorrhoids”)!

 

Dagon figures into the story of Jonah, as well, although the deity is not mentioned by name in Jonah’s book. The Assyrians in Nineveh, to whom Jonah was sent as a missionary, worshiped Dagon and his female counterpart, the fish goddess Nanshe. Jonah, of course, did not go straight to Nineveh but had to be brought there via miraculous means. The transportation God provided for Jonah—a great fish—would have been full of meaning for the Ninevites. When Jonah arrived in their city, he made quite a splash, so to speak. He was a man who had been inside a fish for three days and directly deposited by a fish on dry land. The Ninevites, who worshiped a fish god, were duly impressed; they gave Jonah their attention and repented of their sin.
