Agreed.
But it’s his thread and his logic. No one forced him to start the thread or make claims about supporting spectator sports that maim people.
I’m just trying to get him to see that his very own job contradicts what he said and did with this thread.
So did anyone see it?
Watched the doc today on the bike. Holy hell. The school was totally complicit in enabling that abuse over YEARS, despite a ton of huge red flags. And if you didn’t know that jim Jordan is a POS you will after watching it.
Yup, a wild look behind the scenes at what happens when an entire university administration for decades allows and helps a serial sexual abuser and serial rapist have complete and unfettered access to thousands and thousands of young athletes on numerous sports teams and then the University honors the predator! It is almost like Ohio State used the catholic church as a model of predator-protecting behavior.
The question is, why? Well, no one wanted to upset the oh-so-precious apple cart of Ohio’s winning sports teams. And, of course, the predator had another ace up his sleeve: he was supplying the Buckeyes with illegal PEDs (steroids and HGH). If the university turned him out, he would of course squeal on the university knowingly providing drugs to their cheating athletes. And that is just barely scratching the surface.
The doc is outstanding. You simply won’t believe it. Such is the price of college spectator sports in america. Are we all complicit? You decide.
Edit: and, yeah, now congressman Jim Jordan is a treacherous evil scumbag of the highest order. Because he knew all about this from the very beginning. And he shamelessly lies about it all today (big shocker, a trumper is a pathological liar).
While this does group Rutgers with the rest, and the allegations are very damning, I think it pales in comparison to the others. IOW, if this is all that Rutgers has, they are the least scummy of the rest when it comes major scandals.
For the record, I don’t like Rutgers and graduated from one of the other institutions.
This has happened so often and across so many different organizations of all types that the best we can say is it has not come out yet.
I know there are a lot of people (if not everyone ) that disagree with me. I am just not going to say that everyone in an organization does not care about sexual assault when we find out these guys have operated with what feels like tacit permission.
I grew up Catholic, priests are some of the most giving people you can imagine. I was in Boy Scouts my entire childhood. Scout leaders are out there trying to help kids grow up in a good environment. I’ve been on sports teams with coaches that really cared about the athletes.
These aren’t the kind of people who are just going to ignore sexual assault they know is going on. For whatever reason they are not recognizing it, can’t wrap their head around it, don’t believe it, something. There definitely is a failing on the non-perpetrator’s part. But I’m not buying that all these people are evil.
Acting like they are is not getting to how we keep it from happening in the future. We are not training/educating people in these positions on how to cut it off if we say that everyone who let it happen before is evil. “I’m not evil so I guess I will see it when it happens.”
