Not to bring race into it, but ok, I’ll bring race into it:

That guy sounds like an enormous jerk! Crazy that he’s been married twice.

Women get the men they choose. If they choose an asshole, they get an asshole.

What he is supposed to do is realize he can lose his career by hanging around ghetto jackasses and so not hang around ghetto jackasses.

As the piece stands now, it all happens so fast and seems so detached, it’s hard for me to think “hey that guy is a criminal” or “hey that guy should be expelled from school and branded a rapist.”

Only 2 minutes of foreplay and 8 minutes total. Poor girl, indeed.

That you have to ask that—even jokingly—is evidence that logic and reason is not the default in these discussions.

Out of curiosity, can one of you lawyers in lurking tl;dr the other dissenting opinions?

The reason awards typically get so large in punitive damages cases is because the resources of the defendant are taken into account to really make them pay attention

I played two-hand-touch football in some Nike flip-flops (back in the 90s when those were a thing). When I made a sick cut to juke my brother, my planting foot ripped through the sandal and got gashed on a rock in the yard. No bueno.

Diana, I cannot believe you just wrote that.

You wrote: “People are upset because they are finally realizing all sorts of horrible things (family violence, intimate-partner violence, child abuse) happen all the damn and that our court system still struggles to address them. That is very upsetting. The system sucks. But the solution isn’t asking for sports…

That Solo and the nephew she savagely beat (allegedly) are not in an intimate relationship is a flimsy distinction. What if Solo stood accused of savagely beating a fan? Is your opinion different? What if video existed of Ray Rice punching Janay Rice’s sister but not his wife? Should his punishment be lighter or less…

He’s obviously talking about the criminal justice system and its intersection with the disciplinary procedures of sports sanctioning bodies.

I’ve had sex with my English teacher and she smoked weed. Shrooms too. It’s English teachers, hands down.

This merely confirms that HBCUs have their heads up their asses.
