EasternOHBillsFan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 This whole thing started because one quarterback chose to be a baby and not act like an adult after a loss, while the other one after enduring many a loss and acting like an adult won another Championship.... and the justification for the reporting of this was based upon his SKIN COLOR.... that to me is intolerable. This "journalist" should be roundly criticized for this obvious tabloid journalism... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baskingridgebillsfan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Is the article racially motivated, are there double standards in America ? Both good questions . I think the first issue do you believe it happen, if so is it relavent. Personally In this case it is hard to see an underhanded motive by the accuser. Is it relative absolutley , Payton has profitted greatly on the back of the aww shucks imagine, not the guy banging his dick on someones head . This. Absolutely unequivocally agree 100%. Tabloid journalism and race baiting at it's best. again I ask . do you think he did it. Leave the abstract issue aside .

YoloinOhio Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 This whole thing started because one quarterback chose to be a baby and not act like an adult after a loss, while the other one after enduring many a loss and acting like an adult won another Championship.... and the justification for the reporting of this was based upon his SKIN COLOR.... that to me is intolerable. This "journalist" should be roundly criticized for this obvious tabloid journalism...i think it actually started getting dusted off because a lawsuit was just filed a week ago against UT in which the manning assault is named. The article being discussed does mention the comparison between cam and Peyton images, but it's not the only article about this.It is curious why we're rehashing this 20 year old story. What exactly is the point? That Peyton Manning did something wrong a long time ago and therefore what?the article is an op-Ed about how his image is squeaky clean because this incident took place a long time ago without the media consumption we have now. but what if social media and 24-7 coverage had been around then... Would it still be as squeaky clean? That is kind of what I took from it. But overall, I never really knew what happened with the incident and the details were pretty bad. Regardless of how it is presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I had to serve on a jury last week for a week long trial. It was a particularly bad divorce, accusations of adultery, hiding money... that kind of stuff. This whole thread makes me think of that immediately. During the first half of the trial with the plaintiff going through their whole argument, it looked really bad for the defendant. I know She looked like the scum of the earth and guilty as sin. That half of the trial is exactly what we just read here. But then there's that missing part, every single word from the defense. Once we started to hear their side of the story and hear from their witnesses, the whole thing became a jumbled mess and we realized the plaintiff wasn't exactly an angel either. She wound up not receiving a thing. The only facts ultimately acknowledged as "facts" by the court were their marriage date, the divorce date, and the defendants 2nd marriage date, not exactly earth shattering details. If we judged cases like this solely on what we've been given by King, we'd have a 100% conviction rate (or successful lawsuits). These arguments are designed for one sole reason, to make the defendant look as bad as humanly possible. Unfortunately, that's all we ever use to publicly judge people.

HamSandwhich Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 "The 74-page document is something that was written by the lawyers representing Jamie Ann Naughright in her defamation case against the Mannings. The 74-page document is, necessarily, one-sided." Says a lot to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see some race-baiting douche bag with a poorly constructed argument trying to draw a false equivalence between the two players and then attributing all differences in perception to racism.

I see some race-baiting douche bag with a poorly constructed argument trying to draw a false equivalence between the two players and then attributing all differences in perception to racism. I only read through it once, but, to me it is a story about Manning and it stands on it's own. The fact that the author brought race into the equation was unnecessary and, in fact, based on many responses in this thread, it became THE subject. Those of you who enjoy obfuscating "facts" are left with exactly what you want. You have a place to point your finger & shout your outrage (at some who are equally outraged on the other side). Some try to have a reasonable conversation about the subject, but, it's difficult. You asked upthread why 20 years later? It's a new story for many, myself included, to a degree. I've heard the innuendo, but, this is the first time I've seen the documentation. I discard innuendo, I'm too busy for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
