Navy Football

Navy Football: A military judge yesterday sentenced a former Naval Academy football player to two years in prison for stealing teammates’ charge cards and buying stereo headphones he said he sold to raise money for his mother.
Under a plea agreement, Midshipman 3rd Class Christopher O. Rivers, a sophomore, will serve one year in prison and will receive a “punitive discharge,” the judge said. He also will be on probation for one year after his release from confinement.

In a departure from courts-martial involving midshipmen over the past few years, which have been held at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., this proceeding was held in the Uriah P. Levy Center at the Naval Academy. Academy officials said the trial was held in Annapolis as a matter of convenience for the witnesses.

Three of Rivers’ teammates testified for the prosecution, recounting how Rivers violated the bond among football players.

“We are a very close group,” said Midshipman 3rd Class Austin Hill, a long snapper on the team. “We call ourselves ‘the brotherhood’ – we treat each other like brothers, we go into battle together every Saturday.”

Rivers, who played slotback last year, has been under investigation since April and did not appear on this year’s team roster.

Now 20, Rivers admitted that on nine occasions between late February and mid-April of this year he stole teammates’ Midshipman Store charge cards from their lockers in Ricketts Hall, an athletic facility on the academy’s grounds.
