He doesn't sound like a guy who didn't do anything. He sounds like a guy that his happy that he didn't get in more trouble. If you were completely innocent would you accept a 6 game suspension or would you appeal it?
Just a thought.
He definitely didn't do anything wrong. That's been proven. What is against him is the court of public opinion. And once that gets rolling it's a steam roller that can't be stopped.
*sigh*
No, what you're proving is that you are very good at twisting facts to suit your position.
Ben had his bodyguard drag some random chick to a bathroom so Ben could f*ck her. She resisted, he f*cked her anyway, and then she reported it to her employer who COVERED IT UP.
She declined to file criminal charges (as many rape victims do) because she feared retaliation from her employer, and because she was unwilling to bare all for a room full of strangers. She brought a lawsuit much later after she was told that she was to take a paid leave of absence from work while Ben was invited to stay at her place of employ as a VIP.
Think you know what it's like to deal with the aftermath of a rape? You don't have a f*cking clue. Try helping a rape survivor deal with life for a year or 5 after her attack. It'll open your eyes, quell your naivete, and (hopefully) kill your misplaced intellectual apathy.
Until you've seen it from the victim's perspective, you haven't got a god@mned clue what its about. So why don't you do us all a favor and save your cynicism?
Kthx.
