You are being dumb on purpose, for what? I bet you’re the kind of guy that LIVES ‘bros before hos’

Give me Mariota because he looks like he has some chance to succeed as an NFL quarterback.

What about the second girl?

I respectfully disagree with the other posters here. I feel like she has tried through multiple avenues since the incident occured to get justice for what happened. It’s not uncommon for civil proceedings to happen well after all criminal cases regarding the matter are over, as they can be used to strengthen a civil…

Wait until the defenders come out of the woodwork and pretend that winning football games is more important than SOMEONE WHO POTENTIALLY GOT RAPED.

and why shouldn’t she? every other avenue of justice failed. it makes sense to try civil court. that’s what it exists for.

Your move Lovie, you good christian man.

Too soon. On so many levels.

+ goddamn 1, IMG.

Or in Steubenville OH, the player/rapists were allowed to take exams as a team, when convenient for them. Then everyone from coaches, parents and even the district attorney tried to cover up the crime the committed. Grown ups! Rape all you want, we’ve got your back, boys!

I’d like to see someone like Gloria Allred start filing civil suits against these schools. A few eight-figure verdicts might make school administrators take sexual-assault cases more seriously.

I would be happy to spend all my days on the internet writing positive things about Michelle to make up for the racists.

LOVE this woman. Love her.

I don’t know, I personally think that women are capable of going out wearing clothes that *GASP* might be revealing and not end up jumping on every (or any!) cock in the general vicinity.

part of the reason this bullshit continues to fly is people like you want to dictate how a victim of abuse should act. you literally want to put words in her mouth so that you can feel comfortable about her choices, and, failing that, you’re all too ready to assign complicity to her for violence wrought against her.…

She doesn’t owe you, the media, this terrible writer, or anyone an explanation. There are a lot of narcissistic people here, including this author that need to come to grips with the fact that she’s chosen to mostly handle the issue either privately or internally.

Ray Rice is being made out to be like Lennie from Of Mice and Men, just a loveably conflicted man that made a terrible mistake that he couldn’t truly comprehend.
