I assume there's a great deal of scrambling in the legal departments to figure out exactly what to say.

The text messages are so damning.

Distance. Some people feel distant enough from these kind of issues that the guilt doesn't outweigh the benefit of whatever they're engaging with.
I mean I even suffer with this issue with AEW. Jericho. The smoke about him and his sex pest allegations may have passed but Jericho is still a dude who donated to Trump and had Trump Jr on his podcast. You add the multiple allegations against Jay Lethal and Tony deciding to bring in Flair and plug his stupid energy drink and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not just that but how much else is he handwaving that we arn't seeing? It's still probably 1/100th of what WWE has done but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But I still love AEW too much to disengage over it. If something really bad happens in AEW I don't know if the guilt will outweigh my love for AEW. AEW is important to me because it exists as proof that even in this hellworld good things still exist. I imagine there are people to whom WWE is the same even though I can't personally imagine why.

I mostly agree with all this. I think if Tony turned out to be building a 30 year culture of sex trafficking that'd be enough for me to stop supporting the product. But yes, there's a certain degree of handwaving I'm willing to do over Jericho, Flair, Justin Roberts, etc. etc.
