I don’t think that is true. There are many otherwise decent people that support this or, more commonly because they would never issue the order themselves, turning a blind eye.

This is not Trump’s fault. It is our fault. Too many people either support this or are not angry enough about it.
Maryland’s athletic program has made a lot of missteps in recent year. But they sure got right not hiring this loon.
It is not just the sex, right? It is the singling out of a subpopulation — baseball players who have MLB prospects — that is the grossest.
I got more support than not, actually. So I will die on this hill. (And if you are doing this just to defend that fact that your girlfriend or wife has a sexual history that would make Annie blush, more power to you
You afford everyone so many freedoms which is very generous. I share this worldview. But may I have the right to say that a woman who goal in life is to sleep with a new minor league player who is on a path to the majors is pathetic.
Don’t make this just about men and women. The reality is this is pathetic if you use the male version, too. If I have a 40 year-old son who wants to bang the ballerina at ballet school who is most likely to head to the pros, I would also find that disgusting too.
And, by the way, if you want to take daughter and substitute son, this argument still works with equal force.
But, really, help me out here. Your daughter every year seeks out only a minor league baseball player who has potential to make the big leagues to have sex with. This is messed up. And if you reverse the sexes and make up some similar context, it is still messed up.
My daughter’s big thing is she wants to bang a new minor league baseball player based on the criteria that he has a path to the major leagues? I condemn that. Because it is unbelievably pathetic.
What a substantive and witty response. The thing is, I’ve seen your posts before. You are not dumb. I’m sure we agree on a lot of things. So we disagree on this point. Why that makes you go nuclear is beyond me. We disagree and you go insane with the personal insults. That is the talk of a crazy person who needs to…
Are you a parent? I bet you are something at PTA meetings.
Let me frame it this way. Do you have a daughter? A sister? How would you feel if that was her life? It is fun to get on your high liberal horse but I live in the real world.
I’m sorry. It is so cruel to attack a fictional character, passing judgment on her like she is not a real person.
That nonsense could be a part of my feelings, too.
I think the more you rewatch that movie and the older you get the less you enjoy her character. She really has a pathetic life, right?
What I hate about myself is that I will click on any “where is LeBron going article.”
The irony, of course, is that these kinds of comments also reveal character, right?
Sure. Malcolm Gladwell writes about this, too, when he talks about people who cheat on their spouses and display unwavering ethics at work, with friends, etc. So I’m not getting carried away. But I do think these rules work far more often then they don’t. I’d bet far more than even money this is a good kid.
It is fun to make fun of stuff on Deadspin, right?
