    Had his DWTS partner been 16, things might have ended differently for her…

    Good point about OJ. I did not think of that.

    Devil, not even Goodell is ready to go the Chairman Mao route and start purging the record of those who displeased him.

    The NFL doesn't operate the Hall of Fame.

    Actually, that's where I'm coming from. These guys get so much pussy thrown at them that they don't have to rape anyone.
    I never believed the Tyson raped Desiree Washington. There were too many questions that I had about the incident.
    As for LT, we'll see what happens. He's a tortured soul in many regards and I feel sorry for him as a person. However, he keeps putting himself in these crazy situations. It's very sad.

    If you consider a 15-year-old girl a "crazy situation"

    Dooley we don't know if Taylor knew the girl was 16. If he did, then it's a whole different story.
    I'm going to relay a story that a few here may remember. When Luis Polonia was with the Yankees, he was accused of rape in Milwaukee. The difference was that the first time Polonia had sex with the girl, he didn't know her age. That was bad but the girl did lie to him. Things like that happen and he probably wouldn't have been too vilified.
    The problem that many, including me, had was that after the girl's mother phoned his hotel room and told him the girl was underage, he had sex with her again. That was a no-no.
    I know it's tough for LT to be LT. Shit seems to happen with him. That's all I'm saying.

    So Drip, what you're are saying is famous people are not capable of rape because they can get pussy whenver they want?

    It's only ugly guys who can't get laid that rape, right Drip

    I said LT and Mike Tyson had/have enough women fawning over them that they didn't/don't need to commit the act. Not that they aren't capable of doing so.
    I don't know what you're trying to debate with the rest of your post about famous people and ugly guys unable to get laid.

    Drip: Is there any part of your brain that comprehends that a) rape is not about getting pussy and b) he's being charged with rape because the girl was underage? Even if she consented, it's still rape, okay? Get it?

    Drip, in all seriousness, do you believe rape is about sexual desire? Because a whole shit ton of studies argue that it is not. It's about power and control and an inability to process being told no.
