You’re so edgy. Girls must love how enlightened you are

So as a journalist on Deadspin, your background in and understanding of, psychology is based on what exactly?

This sounds suspiciously like a cut and paste opinion that a Arts student would get from the Guardian.

This is some crybaby stuff right here. He says somethin you don’t like so lets shut him down and not even try to discuss what he says. This man is much smarter then you and speaks on topics on a deeper level. If you seriously find offence to what he says it’s really because your an idiot and don’t know how to…

(a) On Deadspin being to the right of Mao basically makes you an alt-right sympathizer, regardless of the actual details of your views. I’m exaggerating of course, but it’s not that far off from the truth.
(b) Even if the above weren’t true, I’m sure most of the Deadspin staff have a huuuuuuuuuge problem with…

Goddammit yes “defense attorney” is what I meant. This fucking day.

I’m not taking sides on this but there is no such thing as being “proven innocent” in the criminal justice system. The government must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, anything less than that and you are innocent in the eyes of the law. The case was dismissed, meaning that the government never even…

yeah, no. Innocent until PROVEN GUILTY. The proof lies with the accuser. Everyone is 100% innocent until the state proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. Kind of a big deal. You know, what our entire legal system is built on.

That is a pretty frightening thought process.

Its probably more of being falsely accused, going through the court process, doing the best to succeed in life then to have it brought up again 22 years late. Im pretty sure that sucks.

A quick search indicates he’s coached both offense and defense, so no surprise he’s good at being both offensive and defensive.

This is a sad indictment of our society, but I agree with you that we do enjoy watching people get knocked down, deserved or not.

...right, but isn’t his side of the story important? If he’s telling the truth it’s not hard to see how an accusation like that could be mentally taxing for him.

Yes, surely whether or not you root for a man on a sports team is more important than that man’s life. Get some perspective, this is not about YOU! The people this really effect are Patricia and the woman outlined in the report...not you. You only matter in this equation as a way for news sites and blogs (like…

actually, it is totally about him.

If...focus on the IF here...it is not true-then it absolutely is about hurting him. If it IS true-then it’s a different story.

Crazy question. What if he’s the one telling the truth and her, “I dont want to deal with the stress’s of the trial” was just an excuse because she knew she was in the wrong?

That’s the problem with prosecuting sexual assault, it often comes down to he said she said. I just read yesterday about a woman who was just sentenced to 10 years for making 15 false rape accusations. A guy spent 7 years in prison for a rape he never committed. So even though the natural reaction is to believe her,…

Technically, had the Mets realized their mistake after Cabrera’s double, they could’ve put Flores back out there to bat to avoid any penalty (because Cabrera becomes the proper batter after his double); although, the Reds obviously would’ve appealed upon seeing this.

A) Yes

Meanwhile there is a actual real life living day slave trade in Africa, but no one cares.
