Syracuse assistant facing molestation allegations

I think the answer to your question is: sex.

 

I would go "which" there.

 

I haven't been following this real close but did anybody ask Davis why he didn't give the tape to the police in 2003?

 

Which? I don't know, the which/that always confuses me.

But yes, not "who."

 

One potential victim is himself accused of abuse. A vicious cycle.

 

Father says the kid never went to Pittsburgh with Fine.

I'd think it could be proven one way or the other if he did or didn't.

 

I don't see how ESPN is any better than many of their pundits are making Paterno out to be in this one. That tape is nearly as damning as the word of a graduate assistant, isn't it? Yet, they neither went to the authorities nor ran the story.

 

Not sure I'd put it in the "as bad as Paterno" category, but yes, there absolutely are some valid questions about ESPN culpability here. Appears they've been holding audio tape evidence that a predatory pedophile is actively roaming the Syracuse sidelines since 2003, yet never informed any investigative authorities, and perhaps never would've done anything about it if the Sandusky case hadn't come up and apparently set off the "hey, these coach molester stories are a big deal" light bulbs at the WWL. Wonder how much molestation this guy got away during the 8 plus years that ESPN has been holding that tape yet telling nobody.

Kinda puts a different spin on those (belated) outraged ESPN columns demanding to know why Penn State officials didn't act sooner and stronger. Questions they might consider themselves.

 

In what world does that even make sense? What would a columnist have to do with this not being reported? Do you think Jemele Hill (just picking a name) knew about this tape in 2003?

 

Perhaps I should've phrased that differently. It was aimed more at the institution as a whole than specific writers. No, I don't believe every ESPN columnist who wrote a Penn State column was aware of this audio tape, and I don't blame individual writers who didn't have such knowledge. But they are still writing for ESPN, under ESPN's authority, on ESPN's site. Their work is attributed to ESPN, and it now appears ESPN may be guilty of the same sort of institutional corruption and inaction in response to molestation knowledge for which they authorized their writers to rail at Penn State.

I don't know who at ESPN had specific knowledge of the audio tape, but some high up folks obviously did, and they've got some questions to answer. Why the hell keep it secret since 2003? Why the hell didn't they mention the audiotape in their original story about Fine a few weeks ago--was it just so they could get the double ratings boost by breaking the tape in a seperate Outside the Lines piece? Damning evidence of an active predatory pedophile at large is not the kind of story you sit on.
