I'm only going by twitter but it feels like the media desperately wants to avoid acknowledging that this exists, and that's even from the folks I follow who aren't afraid to talk about race or politics

I assume its because media people are afraid of making a stink one way or the other and then a smoking gun comes out proving them wrong. Because journalists are cowards.

The NFL will definitely let him play and everyone will be like "let's wait for the courts to decide" while they try and drag his accusers through the mud.

Yup, announcers will give him credit for being able to perform so well despite facing such adversity while glossing over what he did.

As much as I want to poo poo on Florio I can't say he's not covering this pretty in depth.

Also it's been on all the SAS and Bayless type shows.

That would be the normal thing to do, but manipulating unsuspecting massage therapists is what gets him off (as has been said by other folks earlier)

I would also do this, if I were an NFL quarterback. I would tell attractive women that was my job and take advantage of the prestige that position bestows upon me to have consensual sex with them, instead of sexually assaulting them.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
Basically every athlete I’ve heard comment on this story, at least locally in Boston sports media, has approached this very delicately but have uniformly said that during their playing career because it is so important and so vital that their body feels as good as it can between games that when they find a sports massage person that works for them they solely use that person going forward as they become familiar with every part of their body. Going through so many different women for this is just not a thing that athletes do.

I'm not an athlete and I was annoyed when my preferred massage therapist at my gym moved to another city (not at her, just at having to find a new one who was on the same page as me). If it were part of my livelihood yeah I can't imagine swapping around every time.

He wasn’t getting massages from these women. He was hiring them for sex. He has plenty of staff to get sports massages from and does. He was explicit with every one that he just wanted a sensual massage.

Of course. It’s just an easy way to make people who aren’t paying much attention to this go “yeah that is weird.”

Especially when it wasn't how he worded it, but what he worded.

Newspapers don't mind controversial opinions until it costs them money. Or gets them threatened with lawsuits. The Chronicle must have been slammed with messages and quickly.
