It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, MAD-2R World
Pats hired a hobo looking motherfucker who claimed to be a rocket scientists to be an offensive assistant, working 144 hours a week for the change in the rec room cushions. Of course they made zero effort vetting him.

And he's a millionaire already, who gives a poo poo about his ~career~ being harmed because he's "only" probably a rapist? He can have his second chance working for a living like a normal person, he's not owed being paid millions as the public face of an NFL franchise. There is zero injustice in just firing his rear end.

I feel like this feeds into the bigger picture of what you do to men who were caught in #metoo. It's easy to agree what they did was horrible. Do you let them rejoin society?

If they show contrition, sure. If they try and slut shame and victim blame and do the non-apology apology then gently caress them, they can go bag groceries at the Kroger. There is no heaven, there is no hell, only here on Earth can we manage to get justice against those who are monsters. Losing your career because you raped a woman is a perfectly fine punishment.

No one is entitled to be an NFL coach and people have been fired for less.

Legally, he is innocent. Something about because he was appealing, his conviction was in limbo, and when he died, his family was able to successfully sue to have the charges dismissed and collect benefits.

e: I'm not defending him in any sort here. Law is weird.

here comes my piping hot take:

enjoy making peace with the fact that every single player on every single team had sex at some point in college (or after) with a drunk girl who couldn't consent
and even if the girls were never drunk, there was a giant power dynamic gap by virtue of being popular star athlete vs random student

maybe the only person who should be in the league is tebow

Drunken sex is somewhat different from breaking into a hotel room and gangraping a sleeping girl. It's seriously amazing that people itt are going to bat for this rear end in a top hat. All this whataboutism, all this "won't you think of poor matt patricia we can't possible blackball the man that would be wrooooonnnggg".

Patricia refusing to answer any questions, refusing to say if he had consensual sex with the woman or what the story is, makes it clear everything about the story is true. Honestly, do you guys really doubt that?

For those of you feeling the need to defend this fucker, congratulations on being poo poo :maga: ok im done

Why stop there? Everybody on this planet has, at one point, held power over another individual. Interacting with someone who has less influence than you in any capacity is wrong and exploitative.

It's the exact same as raping a woman, when you think about it.

So yeah it's cool that coach EARONS gets to work for the Lions.

Yeah that's the one thing you do whether you're innocent or not. Don't say things to the press while it's a big deal, don't say anything without a lawyer present. It literally does not matter whether you're innocent or not, don't loving do it.

the statute of limitations for texas regarding rape charges against him expired 12 years ago. He can say/admit anything without legal liability in a criminal sense. This isn't a "don't talk to cops" situation.

Regardless, I'd assume since this came to light he's had plenty of conversations with his and/or the team's attorney about what to say. So I don't think you can divine his guilt or innocence from what he is or isn't saying at this point. From the facts, sure, he probably did it.

So for those wondering how on Earth the Lions didn't find out about the indictment before they hired Patricia, this article goes into it:

https://twitter.com/davebirkett/status/995048765919776770?s=19

Key quote:

quote:

The Lions use an employment background screening company that conducts background checks on all hires, and that firm produced a report on Patricia during the hiring process that did not include any reference to his Texas arrest.

It’s unclear what, if any, information the firm uncovered about the case while vetting Patricia, but when the Lions went back to examine why they only recently learned about the incident, they discovered that Massachusetts employment law prevents the screening company from providing, or them from using as part of their employment decision, information about an arrest, indictment or conviction more than seven years old.

So, same reason the Pats never found out-they weren't legally allowed to ask. Still, it reflects very poorly on Patricia that he never brought it during the hiring process, and I doubt many people in Allen Park are happy with him right now, even if they believe he's innocent.
