WhyteDwarf Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I mean, he paid for sex, big whoop, happens every day in the US, who cares. I highly doubt he was involved in any way with the trafficking, or even knew what was going on in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I am a guy and most likely sexist and narrow-minded Well yes, I'm sure if most of us were getting a genuine massage and a hot girl offered a quick flick of the wrist we wouldn't object. But I think it's the trafficking angle that's going to bury him. He'll of course deny any awareness of it but they'll crucify him anyway even if that were true, especially in this day and age.

TheBrownBear Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Any guy that walks into one of those places knows exactly what the deal is and generally how those girls got there. This isn't a consensual business transaction with some independent online escort or pornstar (though I assume he was heavily involved in that too). This is akin to the sexpats that go to Thailand to dip into underage slaves. Sadly, he'll only get a slap on the wrist and be on his way. But make no mistake, despite his riches, he is morally bankrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also puts the business back in the hands of pimps and madams even if these people don't call themselves that. Probably host or hostess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went there (had a driver take him there) for the act of sexual gratification which he paid for. It's prostitution. If the girls weren't slaves it's probably not as big a deal, but they were and it is. - at least in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know that for sure (unless you do, if so, please share), for one. and for two: I've already gone through this multiple times in this thread- that matters legally speaking but it doesn't matter optically speaking and what the outrage machine will (or should) do with it. The reality is this: If you pay for sex, you're potentially getting it from a slave. He took that risk and he will pay in reputation and likely in career because of that. More to the point, it's a hard sell to imagine that he went in there and didn't have a single clue. If it was a well run establishment with willing women it would probably not be such a sketchy ass place.

I mean, it sounds like he was a regular. Maybe he got off on the danger aspect, these things are never completely about sex. The thing is, knowing how the media operates, you can guarantee a long line of women he's paid for over the years will now come forward to tell their stories. Then you'll get the women he's worked with saying he's a sleaze, groper, or has propositioned them inappropriately. They're going to lap this up. And then you'll probably have people coming forward about other high profile sports figures. It'll follow the same pattern as when the Harvey Weinstein story broke.

Goodell fined Jim Irsay $500K and took away draft picks a couple of years ago for prescription drug abuse. Goodell just has to come up with a punishment that suits the crime for patronizing a spa guilty of human smuggling. I think the question becomes: did Kraft know about the smuggling? If he did, the punishment should be even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
