    But you can vaguely tweet about it? Seems like that same standard should apply.

    Self serving justification. It’s football and sports and it doesn’t matter whether he rapes or not. Just like Adrian Peterson is a deviant child abuser but he can still run for 1000 yards so we will ignore his violent propensities. If he were a Pulitzer Prize winning war corespondent that beat his child’s scrotum with a stick he wouldn’t work at a Penny Saver. But raping, child abusing, wife beaters who are athletes can still get the accolades and money because the journalists who are the sports’ business partners, remain blissfully quiet because it’s old news and bad for business. So the excuses will be made for Brown. Unprovable charges y’all will say. She’s got a grudge y’all will say. He’s just a country kid with great talent and a tough background, he couldn’t know better. Every excuse, every stretch. Because he’s a good story. He’s click bait. He’s ratings. Trump can shoot an innocent person on 5th avenue and wouldn’t lose a vote. how can that be y’all ask. Yet players rape and beat innocents all the time and don’t lose, unless a Ray Rice needs to be fed to the hysteria.
    Just another day. Player X was beloved by all. But y’all knew he was a son of a bitch. Bad for business if it came out.

    Here's a thought: maybe have someone read the posts to you before you respond. They maybe you'll have some idea what others have actually said before you go on your mindless rant.

    Heitner is a tool. He had about 15 seconds of fame two years ago when he put it out on Twitter the day of the Florida-Georgia game that he had "sources" that said Jim McElwain was going to get fire. ... which every beat guy knew would happen, but they had to waste time putting shit on line. And not being a journalist, he didn't have to explain anything.
    Then when Florida was conducting their coaching search, he swore up and down on social media that he had "sources" that said Chip Kelly was getting the UF job. Spectacularly wrong, of course.
    He's about 1 degree above the Michael Avenetti level of street hustler.

    For all you clowns asking why she didn’t run down to police immediately, what leverage does a woman have then? You’ve been sexually assaulted and now you are just asking for help. You have no choice as to how the criminal complaint is run or who and what to investigate. You are simply a witness. Women finally get that nowadays. They say f^*k you, I’ll file a civil suit and control the narrative and what and when things get out. I applaud them.

    Oh but know, it’s ultimately about the facts, can you prove them or not. I’m speculating there are texts and/or email emails that corroborate her story. If not, I’ll admit I’m wrong.

    Good Grief, the hysterics that will ensue if the Pats release him.
