It's a continuum of sleaze, you can decide on placement for yourself. i cant make that leap..i go to the Sundowner occasionally when in town for the game...does that make me and someone who sexually assaults a woman the same?

AB can make the whole thing go away with a financial settlement, no doubt. But NFL aint gunna be a part of that ..take that to the bank Chances are you are correct on the league's actions but I would not put the probability at zero. The Pats are still perceived as being in their SB window so it would be good for ratings if the Pats are unencumbered in their quest for another Lombardi Trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if Brown were presumed innocent until proven guilty and also if the victim wasn't tried and slandered in the media, but neither of these things will happen. Not a criminal case. Hes either liable or hes not liable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civil burden of proof is preponderance of evidence rather than “beyond reasonable doubt” so everyone here saying he’s “innocent until proven guilty” are a little ahead of the game. You also have to consider the “statute of limitations” (the time in which you must commence a civil action). Not sure what FL’s SOL is for intentional tort, but in NY you must commence action within one year after the alleged assault. So I can see her commencing the lawsuit now to preserve her right to a civil judgment. The “statute of limitations” for the criminal charge of rape is much longer than one year. Don’t be surprised when the FL authorities investigate from a criminal standpoint. As we saw with Tyreek Hill, they can open and re-open criminal investigations if evidence is uncovered. Thanks, I hadn't even considered statute of limitations. I had considered asking my sister (who is a prosecutor and married to a judge) for their take on it but didn't get around to it.

Cmdjr85 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 2 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: The league is investigating currently per the statement from the team. Because there isn’t a criminal suit pending , they don’t need to wait. Also, the accuser said she will cooperate fully with the nfl which should help the investigation because the nfl can’t subpeona non players or non nfl employees. That’s why the Nfl does an investigation Not by Roger’s standards. Zeke was never charged with anything. 6 games. There is no criminal charges because the alledged victim didnt go to the police and file a report. Of course she understands making a false police report can lead to some consequenses. Where as going down this road their is no repercussion for making a bogus claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to the extent claimed in the AB case but I side on the womens’ side until proven wrong. The league has to look into this, as do the authorities. And we’ll see what happens. We all have female relatives and having them doesn't change the fact that there are still two types of women: victims and victimizers. Just as you hear stories of what happens to your daughters' friends, I've heard of stories involving manipulation at the hands of females that either did or could have resulted in severe punishment for the guy involved with her. AB is a rather flamboyant personality, he's no saint, but that doesn't blur the picture for me; too many times a halo gets placed over the heads of horned figures, on the strength of being female. I'm not going for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will stay at "he said, she said" as it is improbable any real evidence is sitting at the ready to be used. Did this woman go to a police station and let them go through the routine as far as examination of a raped woman goes? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative in terms of outside of patriot nation, it may not help ratings if the Pats appear to have an unencumbered road to the SB again. There is a ton of patriot fatigue and people are bored with that. I’m way more likely to tune in for Browns-Texans on a Sunday, for example, than Pats vs almost anyone Edited September 11, 2019 by YoloinOhio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many women are not in the emotional state to be thinking clearly right after thus act of violence has been perpetrated upon them..and people are more understanding of that now. Having said that, how do you then prove any sex occurred, let alone whether it was consensual. Tough calls all the way around. I mean look at all the church stuff now..i know my friend was assaulted by a priest and never reported it, and yet it happened and he just recieved payment and the priest is no longer working Edited September 11, 2019 by plenzmd1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
