Comment I made on a SDS article. I'd long cut off any male or female "friend" if they thought like this. I have zero respect for anyone that just dismisses sexual assault against a female and instantly assumes they are lying.

Aaaah. I thought you just posted your status and got attacked. It looks like you just commented on an article under your FB account.
I had to eliminate half my friends list during the last presidential election cycle. And I've had to basically mute some family members. Just so I wouldn't hate them. Lol.
Ditto.
It's just extremely discouraging as a female and person to see comments on social media. People disgust me. We hold athletes in far too high regards. It's beyond disturbing at this point.
#Truth. Sexually women are treated like second-class citizens. We see this reflected in health policy as well. It's one reason why Pap smears are covered by insurance every two years under Medicare. But the PSA is covered yearly. Even though the PSA is not nearly as effective at predicting cancer as the Pap smear is.
If a man was accusing an athlete of azz rape people wouldn't be saying, "he's lying to get money". Or "he shouldn't have been dressed that way". Or "he was a slut".
It's truly nauseating.
I can't like this post enough!
More reason I don't waste my time with Facebook.
I dress like a slut all the time and it gets me nowhere.
The people who defend this kind of crap are the same people who say that ALL of Cosby's accusers are conspiring against him too.
I can see maybe in a case like the accusation against Treon in 2014, giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I was proud of our administration for taking no chances whether he was guilty or innocent and suspending him until it the complaint was dropped. Fact is, when universities and their coaching staffs hide this kind of crap(Rapeis Winston), it makes them look guilty, whether they really are or not, and that's the problem Tennessee faces now. Where there's smoke, there's fire, and this is going to get worse for them before it gets better.
Rightfully so.
Tell Wobble to shut up.
I heard again from Toni Barnhart on the radio that the coaches called this meeting. I'm not suggesting they didn't have support from their department, but it looks like they initiated the event.
I'd say the comments about cheek by a former vice chancellor are the most damaging. He says cheek ignored his warnings about the culture there. This is more than just victims coming forward. A vice chancellor is supporting their claim.
Meanwhile, all their efforts to keep players eligible have resulted in zero titles and an 11 year losing streak to UF.

I'm really disappointed to hear this about Cheek. Cheek was at UF for 30+ years before moving on to UT.
And this whole story is disgusting. When will we realize winning (or in UT's case just having a football program because they suck) at the cost of selling your soul is atrocious.
Consequences for being on Facebook. Any man on that crap is a fuggin moron.
Of course that's what they said publicly, but I don't buy it for one minute.
I don't see what difference it would make if Sgt Carter got the boot. They have a history of hiring coaches worse than their predecessor.

I wonder if he is on the other board?
You must be talking to FSU fans.
The point is that with this strategy the perception is that the coaches are being defensive and not acknowledging the problem. It was a very poor strategy and the media is grilling them for it.
Well, as poorly as they've handled it all, I wouldn't expect them to suddenly have a moment of clarity and do the right thing.
