Prominent D.C. swim coach/teen sex accusation

I believe metsy was employing hyperbole.

If swimming was banned, everyone who jumped into a lake to cool off would drown.

 

When is USA Swimming getting the Death Penalty?

 

The drowning penalty?

 

Just ban the summer club circuit. The kids can still swim for their high school team as long as they play at least one other sport and their parents never call the local newspaper

 

Awesome that the clown on the Board had to reverse himself.

This club is near me and I was glad to see the club's swim chairperson who I know called the board out and told it like it is.

To pick a principal over the victim/survivor is troubling.

 

Update: Curl banned for life.

$150 grand to not go to the cops? That's troubling on so many levels... particularly when Currin talks about how "We were given terrible legal advice." Could a seventeen-year-old really have made a decision about this?

 

The club in that CC Times story got what it deserved, ironically what it was trying to avoid - bad publicity.
