You have some serious goddamn issues with women. Check your entitlement and priveldge and that toxic as hell attitude.

When will you get it was never about the money. It's about holding someone with privilege accountable when the justice system fails.

He's not going to admit it. Why the hell would he say anything about it.

That's significantly more dissapointing.

She is not going to put herself through the trauma and scrutiny for an allegation of this type. This kind of thinking is toxic, representative of entitlement, and is the exact reason more victims do not come forward.

You can't chalk up being accused of sexual assault as a life experience. It's not hard to make good decisions. The fact that he put himself in this situation speaks volumes about his character as a whole.

He should have made better choices and not put himself in a situation to be accused of sexual assault. It's not hard to do.

But we are also the fan base. They should care what we think. We buy the tickets and the jerseys. One way to force an owner to make a change is by hitting their wallet. In the scheme of things, just like all NFL players he is replaceable. Doesn't McDermott preach that "next man up" mentality?

1) He should have made better choices. 2) Her civil case isn't about the money. Whatever amount is decided upon is up to him to come up with. 3) The Bills should have practiced what they preached when it comes to culture.

Man, none of us forced him to attend that party. None of us put him in the situation where accusations could be made. No one else is responsible for his actions but Matt Araiza. He should have made better choices.

Absolutely. At the very least him being on the roster is impacting the perception of the Bills organization.

Nope, in the US at-will employment means your employer can fire you for any reason at anytime as long as it isn't a violation of the law. Firing someone based on allegations of a crime is permissable if they can prove it violated conditions in a contract, made you unfit for the position, or impacted the business.

You act like the Buffalo Bills require the same burden of proof as the courts. Just like many jobs, the NFL is at will employment. If any of us were accused of such a heinous crime, you better believe our companies would let us go due, in large part, to optics. At some point he lied to the Bills staff and to the NFL. Based on the constant preaching of culture by Bills staff that should alone be enough to cut Araiza. The only place he is innocent until proven guilty is the court of law. No one else owes him that.

Exactly why there is usually a civil suit. A way to hold their attacker accountable when the justice system fails to do so.

What would she stand to benefit? She went to police the next day. Had a rape kit done. That is a lot of trauma to undergo for the sake of extorting a college punter. Comments like yours is a reason a lot of victims do not come forward.

It really isn't hard to not put yourself in a situation where accusations could be made. For an organization that preaches culture and has passed on talent for character issues in the past, it is really dissapointing.

How else would you describe it?

Man, some the responses on this board are abhorrent to say the least. Some of you say he is innocent until proven guilty then proceed to drag the accuser through the mud using some very sexist, misogynistic, and down right terrible comments possible. I am dissapointed. And I am dissapointed with the Bills organization.

Are you kidding me?

Why the hell would she put herself through all of trauma? To extort a college punter? The victim shaming has to stop.

Consent can be revoked at any time.

When the legal system fails a victim the only recourse is civil. It fails them way too often.

So because she said she was 18 she deserved it? That is what you are implying here. Jesus that is toxic.

She was intoxicated. Right there she is incapable of providing consent.

Plus if she was intoxicated then she is incapable of giving consent.
