Nah, I understood it perfectly. You were not clever enough to do the same. Or you share the author's prejudices and resent anyone who points them out. In any case, good luck to you, too!

That's great. I'm capable of being offended by both rape and stupidly insulting millions of innocent people. Obviously, rape is a far more serious issue than some jackass insulting people for no good reason. But why not just write an intelligent rape article without insulting people who ought to be on the same side?

They probably didnt get what they deserved. Out by 21. Doesn't seem fair to me. I sure hope they have to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives.

I'm not even sure why you're replying to my post since you seem to agree with what I wrote. You don't think all sports fans are like they are described in the article. You don't even think it is "prevalent in most sports." Well, that's my view, too.

That's not bad.

No, the article repeatedly insults all sports fans, lumping them together as a group of people who care only about sports and are not concerned about issues like rape if it could harm the prospects of their favorite team.

You're obviously the one with reading comprehension. I wrote that the article repeatedly insults all sports fans, treating us as if we care about nothing but sports and cannot allow a little thing like rape to bother us. It's wrong and I pointed it out. I never wrote, suggested or implied that sports fans are the

How did sports fans react violently to the Kobe Bryant rape trial? I must have missed those LA riots. Kobe Bryant paid the woman who accused him of rape to go away. She took the money. If you want to hold Kobe Bryant responsible for that, go right ahead. Not sure why all sports fans have to answer for that. Kobe gets

I don't need anyone to convince me that sexual assault is a serious problem that should be dealt with seriously by this society and every other in the civilized world. I just don't see how lazily and stupidly insulting all sports fans helps.

Really don't see how sports fans are responsible for what CNN did. Candy Crowley and Poppy Harlow are two women on CNN. If sports fans authorized them to speak for all of us, I definitely missed that meeting.

Obviously, it's pretty difficult for me to comment about the case you mentioned since your details are so vague [and should probably stay that way], but it is pretty hard to believe that ONLY football fans thought the player was innocent.

Have Jezebel readers always been this bad at crafting a decent insult? If I thought you were capable of being embarrassed, I'd be certain you were embarrassed at how lame you are.

Of course people like that exist. I may not know them personally, but I know of them. That wasn't the point of what I wrote. I wrote that the story repeatedly insults sports fans and treats us all as if we care about nothing but sports and excuse the wrongdoings of athletes. That's absurd. Go to any American sports

See, that's a reply I can respect. You're a stupid bigot and proud of it. I'm not stupid or a bigot, but I respect your honesty. Good on ya.

No, I read it perfectly.

It's the Internet. No one has to look hard to find something offensive. I could put together a tumblr blog filled with the nasty things teenage girls write about each other on Twitter and Facebook. I suppose an article about how rotten teenage girls are would be the natural response to it, eh?

Nah, I read it pretty carefully.

I'm a sports fan and I know many sports fans. Don't know a single one who thinks athletes deserve a special pass from the law or any other part of our society.

How could this come as a surprise to anyone? Everything about the man screams flaming closet case?
