This is my favorite thread

Mine too.

I think the point I've been circling around every time one of these scandals comes up for the past several years is that this idea that football players tend to get preferential treatment from the law strikes me as received wisdom. When player after player gets off without punishment for this kind of thing, the media asks why it is football players always seem to get away with it. It's a fair question, but their scope is too small. The problem isn't that football players are never brought to justice for rape, it's that by and large nobody is ever brought to justice for rape. How many countless nobodies that we've never heard of have gone through the same joke of a system and slipped through the cracks in the same fashion? Whether the culprit is Jameis Winston or Joe Blow, rape is a really difficult thing to prove, and we live in a society that doesn't really want to think about it. Sure, maybe when it's a football player a few people may want to think about it a little less, but I think for the large part our focus on the sports element of these stories is missing the forest for the trees.

Now I'll hang up and let you talk Pawlll. I like the way I've posted as poster, a fan, and a human being.

Baylor's not even my team, I just want to assume the best about people. Maybe I'm crazy, but I can't bring myself to believe that administrators, chaplains, and a full jury are all conspiring to try to get a player who doesn't even matter from getting in trouble for rape so they can increase Baylor's win expectancy by 0.15 games or something. Even in a post-Sandusky world, maybe especially in a post-Sandusky world, that seems insane to me.

So by trying to assume the best about "people", you choose to assume a rape victim lied, right? That can't be right, can it? If it is, does it feel a bit sick to you?

Muschamp "wouldn't take" Ukwuachu at Florida

This quote seems pretty telling:

quote:

Sports Illustrated reported Tuesday that in May 2013, Florida "considered taking" former Boise State defensive Sam Ukwuachu on a transfer, but decided against it after being told of Ukwuachu's violent relationship with his girlfriend by Broncos officials.

Eh, the Florida D wasn't the problem under Muschamp anyway.

All I'm saying is that if Ukwauchu could play under center, he'd have been in orange/blue.

This is off topic for this thread but Muschamp actually thought he had the pieces he needed, it's amazing how clueless he is about offense. After he was fired he specifically talked about how much talent he was leaving behind, and McElwain is like 'I only have 7 scholarship offensive linemen, wtf Will?'

Again, in our rush to judgement let's remember that Baylor's failure to properly take care of the victims interests doesn't necessarily mean that they did so to protect the football team. Sometimes incompetence is just incompetence.

To be fair the article says one athlete was reported for sexual assault six times before he was removed from school (because he was convicted).

You know, having read the article I really don't have a good defense any more, I guess I've just got to admit that the amount of enjoyment I get watching the team outweighs the amount that this actually bothers me. I'm going to go ahead and forfeit my right to discuss this matter any further, because I'm unable to look at it objectively.
