My guess is the last one. It probably wasn’t just a liability aspect, but just the nightmare of having to deal with a situation like that, in general. Humans have an amazingly high tolerance for things they know are awful just because they “don’t want to have to deal with this.”

Given the response from these organizations it seems more likely (IMO), that Larry is one among many predators within these organizations. Fear of liability may have been one among many considerations not to exclude the real possibility that he is just one of several other scumbags preying on these young women. I say…

I hope Larry Nassar has great genes like our president, and could live to be 200 years old.

You wanted 7-Up but he made you drink Coke.

Aziz Ansari once took me on a date to Applebees. #metoo

I’ve got zero sympathy for people who willfully choose to eat at Applebee’s.

“Because just like the clock in England, my clock is covered covered in grey fog.”

The teammate has remained unnamed, presumably for his own safety because Bill Belichick had him killed and had his entire life history erased from public record.

Hasn’t Tom Brady always been on the injury report as a form of gamesmanship?

If they lose because of this, I promise to be very adult about it and not revel in it at all.

Will he still be able to get raped every day in ad-seg? That’s all that matters to me.

Please keep him in general population for whatever is left of his pathetic existence. None of this bullshit isolation and protecting him. Let the men who are best equipped to handle someone like Nassar have full access to him.

...it also speaks to the frantic, constant need for him to identify what is wrong with his team at any particular moment and engineer NASA-like ways of patching it.

No offense, but I hope the Jaguars Defense, Fournette, and Blake Bortles (lol) beat the Pats so bad that you cry and pee.

Is there really anyone in the country that thinks that Arby’s roast beef is better then Roy Rodgers? I will fight each and every one of you.

He was absolutely tacky. And we’ve all been there. But to call this an “assault” diminishes assault and removes agency from women. (Not arguing at you - just thinking out loud!)

Looking into the story as well, I thought the same thing, but didn’t want to be the first person to voice that thought. I’ll always give the benefit of the doubt, but the story made it come off like petty airing of dirt rather than actually pointing at predatory behavior.

There was some sleaziness to his plays, but nothing that seemed outside the Tom Haverford playbook of overreaching. Certainly nothing that constitutes coercion.

The story reads to me like a groupie dissatisfied she was treated like a groupie.
