"Errors in Inquiry on Rape Allegation Against FSU's Jameis Winston"
Dropping a dime? More like a piano. I need a shower.Correct. Coker is graduating not transferring.
The news that Mr. Winston had been accused of rape moved through campus like an electric charge. On social media, the discussion quickly lost any semblance of civility, prompting one female student to send an email expressing her anger to Mary Coburn, vice president for student affairs.
“All day every day I am bombarded with messages of hatred for the alleged victim,” the woman wrote. “I am sad and ashamed to be part of a student body that is quick to support a man who is accused of sexual assault, simply because he is a good football player, and even quicker to condemn the alleged victim of the crime as a liar.”
First why didn't YAHOO sports or any of the other investigative sports reporters have similar stories? Are you too busy protecting the world from fifty dollar handshakes?
Second, why is the NCAA not investigating this in the same way they investigated Penn State?
Because the fandom runs all the way to the top!I understand that Winston will most likely never be tried for this situation but what I do not understand is how the entire Tallahassee Police Department has not been looked into from top to bottom. I think it is pretty obvious that there are some major issues with these multiple cases not being properly investigated.
While I certainly am NOT comparing the situations precisely, we didn't exactly handle the DuBose affair adequately ourselves. Even as he denied it, the ptb knew he was lying his tail off. We did, however, learn from it and handled the Price situation far better.The fact that some people would intentionally mishandle rape allegations for the sake of a football program is beyond deplorable.
I understand that the university didn't handle the DuBose AFFAIR properly. But isn't rape and an affair between two consenting adults completely different? Did i miss something on the DuBose thing? I understand the ptb lying to cover is not a good thing, but it makes no difference to me if folks wanna mess around. However, covering for an alleged rapist is deplorable.While I certainly am NOT comparing the situations precisely, we didn't exactly handle the DuBose affair adequately ourselves.

These college towns are pretty much run by the football team if it is a power.
Exactly Krazy & I agree 100% with ya..Being a daddy of two beautiful Baby Girls myself, they & all females safety will always come before college football to me..I love College Football as much as any College Football Fan possibly can, and should one of our football players rape a gal, I would be ticked off to no end, if it was covered up like FSU & the Tallahassee police did for Jameis, cause protecting our females should always trump any & all things doing with a football player.. All it does is enable a rapist & gives him the green light to do it again to another co-ed..And that's not acceptable in the least bit..The fact that some people would intentionally mishandle rape allegations for the sake of a football program is beyond deplorable.
The larger point was the fact that this is the football culture that caused the problems at Penn State and this appears to be the same thing. DuBose was simply an example. OBVIOUSLY adultery and rape are light years away in terms of lethal/criminal outcomes - although since DuBose was a state employee and it was determined to "really" be sexual harrassment (why did he pay her if it wasn't?), that opens up another whole can of worms.I understand that the university didn't handle the DuBose AFFAIR properly.
