I see what you are saying. And trust me I have stated in other threads, and with my wife that i hate how easy it is for someone to get accused of something (sexual in nature normally) and be ruined. I witnessed it happen to guy this year. Took 8 months for him to get his day in court, judge literally threw it out in under 10 mins. But he lost his job, almost his wife and kids and his life is fucked for the near future.
With that, the article was about the schools reaction. They were aware of the accusations and did nothing. Not an investigation, NOTHING. Same as Penn State did with Sandusky.
All in the name of fucking foitball. How low have we dropped when a sports program (at an educational facility mind you) is more coveted than a human being.
As for your last question. And you may think I am full of shit on this but I am not and people that know me can attest to what i am about to say. If I had a son (only have a daughter) and he was accused of such things. If he could look at me like a man and tell me he was innocent then i would defend him with everything i have. If he couldn't do that, he would march his ass into court, confess, plead gulity and ask for mercy. And that is no bull shit.
you choose the action, you choose the consequence.
