How does one make rape easier to prosecute while protecting the 5th and 6th amendment rights of those accused? Unless we're adopting the Chinese criminal justice system there will have to be a balance struck.

This is touches on something important in my mind. Numbers tell us that many D1 revenue sports players are black and I would suspect many of these accusers are white women. Given America's history with race and specifically the idea of black men raping white women, I think a bit of caution is advisable to prevent…

+1 useless fortifications on the Rhine.

One simple reform they could make is rotating the cup through the federations, and then only have members within the federation voting for the actual host.

We know Chuck Blazer is corrupt because the work of the same people that exposed Bin Hamman under the hotel door bribes. Plus its quite possible the Feds will deal with Blazer corruption. They do it too is not a valid position to me. It needs to be stopped period.

My thing with this is does developing soccer in poor countries mean for instance building a stadium on land owned by Jack Warner with FIFA cash. I think most right thinking people realize that in an federation with richer and poorer members that former will subsidize the latter, but it doesn't have to mean throwing…

I must say, I can't shed tears that the biggest flopper in the league was a victim of one.

Travis D'Araud of the Mets got concussed on similar back swing a few weeks ago. Its common in baseball with the longer swings with the focus on full extension and demise of the 2 handed follow through

I don't think the backswing was intentional. I think he didn't care though just like Donaldson didn't care that the tag irritated his surgically repaired knee. Backswings are part of the game. As per Abed you get one shot at the guy, shot 2 is gratuitous. Everyone here is acting stupid and will be soon devoid of…

It has become standard practice to suspend pitchers that get ejected for hitting batters. A warning really should have been issued after the first miss.

I think Pedro Guerro got a long suspension for doing this one time to David Cone of then of the Mets. Baseball doesn't look kindly on using the bat during incidents,

It was clear what the intent by Abed here was. Machado is wrong too but he def was trowing at him after warnings were issued. Automatic suspension.

Crowding the plate brushbacks in an 11-1 game on getaway day? Come on man. Abad is out of order here too.

I live a mile from this thing, race day is always a disaster. Belmont is really not in a good location to support 120k event people and their cars. One parkway in, residential neighborhood.

The coaches at D1 basketball level @ UNC don't care enough about the kids education to do stuff like this. Roy Williams is too busy picking out which luxury car he's gonna drive to show at 8 AM English Composition. These kids are a means to an end to both coaches and the school. Just listen to a guy like Spurrier talk…

I think there is a case to made that if you have a minority athlete that wouldn't normally get a shot at school except for athletics and they want to get an education a door should be open for them, even if they're not as prepared as the general population to get a degree. In the expose that was written on UWashington…

You got to laugh to keep from crying. Is anyone really shocked by this report who knows anything about FIFA?
