Sly Stallone’s dad jumps in John Goodman fray, asks forgiveness for Goodman

Ninety-year-old Frank Stallone , one of Wellington polo’s elder statesmen and actor Sylvester Stallone ’s dad, has come out to defend troubled International Polo Club Palm Beach boss John Goodman . Stallone (Gary Coronado/The Palm Beach Post) Goodman, 46, slammed his Bentley into the economy car of 23-year-old Scott Wilson in rural Wellington Feb. 12, killing him. And authorities have been investigating whether Goodman, who may have a history of drug abuse and was at two parties before the crash , was impaired . With no charges filed as the public grows impatient, Goodman has been moving from luxury hotel to luxury hotel in the Miami Beach area and routinely meets with his lawyer in the Magic City, Roy Black . But in the meantime, attendance at the Sunday games at Goodman’s club has been substantially lower than last year. So the star of Rocky and Rambo ’s dad is asking for forgiveness for Goodman. And Stallone ’s also asking the public not to take it out on the sport of kings. For his missive to Page2Live , look below or click “Goodman – A human dilemma, “As a polo player for over forty-five years, I’m appalled by accusations against polo. Those who

vented their angry feelings ready to put Mr. Goodman behind bars before being charged seems ludicrous and unfair. “Mr. Goodman and polo are separate entities. He happens to own a club, whether for pleasure or profit is no ones business. The truth: What would Wellington do without polo and the Winter Equestrian Festival? Goodman, with actress Hillary Duff (Click on the photo for more) “Many times, polo had withstood it’s own tragedies and accordingly dealt with them responsibly. However, polo players who commit indiscretions off the field are responsible for their own actions. “If Mr. Goodman, a man of integrity, could undo what happened on February 12 and walk hand in hand with a vibrant Scott Wilson, he would be the happiest man in the world. Unfortunately that is not the case. “I personally know Mr. Goodman, and while he hasn’t been charged, he will not run away nor make any excuses. I’m also certain he will face the situation head on when then time comes. “Justice and forgiveness are optimum to a closure to the nightmare that was February 12. Frank Stallone “
