This team is apparently determined to create any distraction possible when there is enough pressure as it is heading into the season and a brutal first few months of the season.

 

It's...a....rookie....late round....punter....CUT HIM.

 

It's just that easy?  Cut someone based on just an accusation?  Goodness, can someone accuse Mahomes of something like this?  No proof required even, apparently.

Did he though? Haack isn't that good of a punter anyways. I feel we could get a better punter than Haack after cuts or at least similarly talented. 

As far as I am concerned it shows how much trust they had in Haack as the starter that they willingly decided to roll the dice on this than cut the potential media storm issue before it happened. 

Haack is a below average punter, but a very good holder.    if nothing else he was a good teammate.  

 

The holder part of it is why Bojo is gone.  A punter can lose a game for you and so can a bad holder.   This mess effects 2 positions.   The heat of battle of a real NFL game against the SB champion Rams, the Bills may be venerable and possibly distracted.  

 

This is mess for the team and for all parties.

😂 Seriously..... Isn't there a dedicated member of Bills Mafia willing to fall on the sword here?

The civil suit is to push the DA to make a decision on charges. There seems to be zero people involved who say that a rape did not happen. The girl was 100% raped. The police have 100% stalled efforts to protect SDSU football. 

Whether Araiza is involved in being in the room is currently debatable. 

If the police had not stalled, I don't think that the Bills are dealing with Araiza in a civil suit at the moment. That has nothing to do with his guilt or innocence.

The plaintiff’s lawyer is contending that the SDPD stalled efforts to investigate. After reading his incessant tweets about the case, I’m taking everything he says with a huge boulder of salt. It’s just as likely that the DA’s office did investigate the complaint and felt there wasn’t sufficient evidence to bring criminal charges.

Both lawyers come across as POS. Not impressed with the approach of either. Bills statement says they throughly investigated. They better have because they are already getting crushed by media. They can find a punter but seems like they are all in supporting 19. 
 

Terrible what this young lady endured. Certainly poor decisions on her part but awful situation.

Police would have to obtain a warrant to record only if that is allowed under California law without others consent.  The police can not just record a phone call without your consent or warrant.  Doing so knowingly violates the law which could affect the police careers involved.  It’s the same as if police planted evidence on you like slipping drugs in your pocket then claiming the found it on you.

 

Obtaining evidence illegally is in inadmissible  in court including other evidence found directly from that illegal act.

 

You said this more than once last night and others corrected you over an over, yet here you are again with this.  You're wrong.

Appreciate things are a bit different on your side of the equator… but why would the police “actively work to squelch the story”?
 

Trying to understand how they benefit by keeping this quiet..

 

Same reason anything happens in America. Money and Football rule the land, and women's health is last priority.

 

Look into the backlog of rape kits we have in this country where the police simply dont process them.

 

Look into how many rapes and sexual assaults get pushed down by police when the local college football team is involved.

She claimed the media attention the case was generating was causing too much stress for her and her family. 

See, this is what I don't like. If Araiza stopped cooperating with police, people would be talking about how guilty he is for not cooperating and get tons of backlash but a girl that claims rape and stops cooperating because of stress, she gets "you poor thing". Any non cooperation should be seen as a red flag. The double standard is ridiculous

The Bills need to suspend/inactive Araiza until the DA either presses charges on him or clears his name.

 

Especially if they want to retain fans which = $$$ because we all know people read headlines or 1 article and come away assuming.  

 

 

  

 

 

He hasn’t been named in a criminal lawsuit. Only a civil lawsuit. He could be end up being one of the players charged by the DA. But it’s not up to them to clear his name. The Bills as of now believe that he’s not involved with the rape. So I don’t think suspending/inactive makes sense but for optics. Maybe they do go that route. We will see. As of now he’s expected to play tonight.
