If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.

Man, fuck Eagles fans. Look at these insufferable cunts. I hope Eagles lose to the Brady bunch 56-0.

Nice change of pace to see a Philadelphian subjected to a battery.

Philly fans. New England fans. This is my NFL nightmare.

The worst part is that, since the game is in February, dumpster pools will either not happen, or they’ll be Polar Bear challenges.

Exactly. I’m a patient at several MSU clinics (including Sports Medicine, luckily with other doctors) and this is all just automated billing business crap, whatever entity is sending out bills has no idea that she’s been assaulted. And I guarantee whoever is answering the phone has no authority to even discuss this,…

You’re right and I would give MSU four business days to get it fixed.

If the Miller family gets another bill after, say, this Friday, then bulldoze the MSU Sports Clinic.

When he woke up, he was in Hogwarts.

Easy. Little girls don’t have the courage to speak up sometimes. US Gymnastics tried to hush them and the parents were not allowed to go back during his treatments. That’s just one or two ways how this happened, I am sure there are more.

Imho, it’s because we’ve got a toxic and pervasive culture in this country of pursuing success (or rather, our definition of it - i.e., being number 1) and the almighty dollar at the expense of common decency. I sincerely believe that, among other factors, it’s why JoePa and other Penn State officials did nothing…

So far the athlete reps have been kind of handpicked by The Establishment at USAG and kinda... useless? I really want Aly to punch higher.

In all seriousness my only question is whether she should run for Congress right now or do Tokyo and then run for Congress Or finish her degree and then do Congress and Senate. Massachusetts would elect her. She makes me so FUCKING proud.

I feel like it’s the latter. It seems like with any kind of concern of this type (see also: Baylor), it’s easier to just (ab)use your power and try to sweep it out of sight than try to take on a possible national shitstorm. It’s hard to get fans buying into the fanciful NBC montages if people knew, and now know, that…

This guy’s going to die via suicide within a week in the clink, if he even makes it to sentencing.

I had to look this up.... Per wikipedia:

I know nothing about O’Beirne other than what I have read here. I give her a great deal of credit for continuing to make the Podcast available despite what has to be sickening and humiliating for her. She’s putting the victims’ interests (surely there are many who have not yet come forward) ahead of her own AND making…

“Nassar: If you defeat one of the gymnasts, if you do something where you break their train of trust, you’re done. Because they’ll never trust you again. They’ll tell the other gymnasts. You gotta stick with the core—protect the gymnasts mentally and physically.

That quote about saying his word will be valued mor than hers is the primary reason most victims of abuse myself included don’t come forward with what happens. I can’t imagine having this done to you by a doctor as unfortunately you would be liable to think it wasn’t something inappropriate but something normal.
