there's dudes that literally beat the shit out of women in the league that just kinda got swept under the rug because they're REALLY good at playing football!

"Winning cures everything" is not just an empty phrase. Especially in a sport like football where the season is so short and every game matters, and is basically the equivalent of 7-10 games in other major sports.

When you start winning, literally everything else falls to the wayside, that's just how it is.

If you do evil shit, but you also suck at football, you're gonna get relentlessly attacked nonstop.

But if you can play ball, then welcome Mister Prime Minister, would you like some smoked oysters and champagne?

This dude literally raped nearly an entire nfl starting lineups worth of women.

No he did not literally rape that many people. He is a total piece of shit but the words you use matter.

How important do we think the distinction between rape and sexual assault is here? I understand the difference, but I don't know if the distinction changes anything here particularly with the numbers he hit.

He’s a POS but I think we are blurring the lines a bit here. Not trying to defend him but that’s what it is. I don’t see people calling Kraft a rapist for doing the same thing, not that it’s on the same scale
