Prior sexual encounters do not give a person the right to your body drunk or sober.

When a woman shows up at a hospital completely fucked up on booze/drugs, in an apparent state of disheveled dress, and with no memory of what happened, it's pretty reasonable procedure for the doctors to run a rape kit and call the police.

Guys, if Special Victims was called in, the hospital likely had reason to believe there was an assault. They could very well have even run a rape kit on her. All the facts of the incident aren't presented here, which is why it's an ongoing investigation, not to mention the parts that are redacted beyond just her…

You're right. They should take down the BIG ATHLETE COMMITS RAPE headline. In retrospect, it is mildly misleading.

Very good. Now explain to me how "Kaepernick did not have sex with her" equals "she was not raped", definitively. You might well be right about the hospital, but you're -gasp- jumping to a conclusion there.

:runs away from reporters asking for comment:

Fuck off.

Read it carefully. Zero of the four conclusions you've drawn are presented as fact. One, at most, is heavily implied.

Meanwhile, thug Richard Sherman is busy not being in these situations and probably polishing the frame on his Stanford degree.

Screw Montreal. That city never had good baseball fans. 97,000 in two days? That's 13% of the Expos entire 2004 attendance (about 750,000). Perhaps those same fans should have loved baseball this much back then so the city wouldn't have to lobby the MLB for a team.

To each his own, but Montreal is one of the worst so-called nice cities I've ever visited. I hope I never have to go back. To anywhere in Quebec, for that matter.

Given that Jeffrey Loria owned the team in the late 90s, and given that he currently owns a team in South Florida that also draws about 10,000 per game, perhaps you could direct your ire towards him and other owners (ie. Claude Brochu) who disaffected the fans and not the fans themselves.

Glad they had some good crowds - they should have shown up when they had an opportunity to save the Expos:

Being painted as a villain is the cost mixing business and sports. You can't discount the fans feelings just because a player wants to exercise his "capitalistic right" to find out how much money he can get on the open market. If he wants to make a ton of money and not be vilified then he should go into the…

I think the passive aggressive response is pretty shitty, but to an extent I can see why all the FEELS are coming out of the Tigers front office.

It's not just that he rejected them. It's also that they let Fister and Fielder with the intent of making his contract a priority.

I actually don't blame the Tigers one bit for taking this position. Teams are really hung out to dry in these matters these days. Business is business.

Except Scherzer lives in an exceedingly wealthy area in Oakland County, north of Detroit.

The Tigers are just taking a page from the Lolmets book of smearing your own players
