Democrats don’t hire illegal immigrant labor, don’t own businesses, don’t hire lawn services, and don’t visit hotels and restaurants?

Eh, I don’t. I just hate when I see deliberate obtuseness.

The tone of the articles make it clear they think the NFL should know everything about their employee’s past, including accusations. For me, I don’t want employers to have the power to make hiring decisions based upon accusations. That is certainly a dystopian situation.

Burn it all to the ground as long as I get paiddddddd

The point of Deadspin bringing this up is to shit on someone and fill space and to get credit for being “woke.” Deadspin is not a news source, a law enforcement agency, nor are they the alleged victims advocate. They are bored people who sit in an office trying to figure out what content to create to justify their…

You’re definitely right, the NFL only cares about what helps the NFL. I think someone should definitely expect more scrutiny in a job where you’re dealing with media/the public all the time like NFL coaches do, but this seems like a slippery slope.

The idea that anyone’s career can be destroyed by just making up charges is scary. I’m NOT saying that’s what happened here, just saying that it’s a possibility given the information available.

Allegations are none of anyone’s business as they are merely allegations. There are very good reasons for this. Implying that the NFL, or any other business, should be scouring history of allegations is absurd and goes against the basis of law in this country.

This is the usual Deadspin M.O. “Hey, I never said that this happened/they did anything, but I’ll just hint at it enough so you know my opinion and I can get a bunch of crazy comments supporting my brilliant journalism.”

I’m looking at this from a more conventional job perspective. If I’d been indicted falsely, I’d hope that my employers didn’t search for that sort of thing or at the very least ignored it if it’d been dismissed. I would like to think that someone couldn’t just indict me falsely and have it affect my career for decades.

The accused are innocent until proven guilty, for one.

Huge difference between allegation and conviction.

Honest question: What do you hope to accomplish with these articles?

Massachusetts state law prohibits employers from asking about or retaining this type of information. From the site:

“Employers may not ask about, maintain a record of, or base any employment decision on the following…

Thank you...what sensationalism this is

In 2012, a law went into effect that makes it illegal to ask about criminal histories on the initial application. They can be asked about later in the process.
