They're already claiming extortion but it's hard to trust AB at this point.

The alternative was to say "Yes, I raped her," so of course that is his defense. He does not have the "luxury" Brett Kavanaugh had of simultaneously pretending to apologize while also viciously denigrating the accuser by making it seem like it was all just one big mix-up because of the gap in time.

Plus, unlike Kavanaugh, he's not white.

Certainly there will be a lot of confused racists and sexists out there having to pivot from calling him an entitled narcissist to suddenly saying there's no way he would feel entitled to a woman even if she said no.

 

[DaveC]

a lot of confused racists and sexists

next time just say "patriots fans"

 

[phanan]

Nice.

 

[Hewson]

next time just say "patriots fans"

That's pretty uncalled for.

 

[DaveC]

you don't actually think i really meant that, do you?

 

[Hewson]

Then why even type it?

 

[DaveC]

it's a dumb joke, not a dick. don't take it so hard.

 

[Hewson]

Well addressing me that way makes it so much better

 

[DaveC]

what are you looking for here exactly?

 

[mikal]

what are you looking for here exactly?

Personally, I'm looking for something on the casual side, no strings attached.

 

[Hewson]

what are you looking for here exactly?

Not looking for anything, just pointed out a post I thought was uncalled for and then you seemed to get your back up and made that wonderful statement to me about taking hard dicks, just another day in paradise

 

[DaveC]

just another day in paradise

well you just got a phil collins song stuck in my head so i'd say we're about even now.

so in the "biffy fucking clyro" scenario you keep suggesting, which one are you?

 

[mikal]

so in the "biffy fucking clyro" scenario you keep mentioning, are you biffy or clyro?

Oh definitely the Biffy!

 

[DaveC]

biffy the clyro slayer

 

[Hewson]

Oh definitely the Biffy!

Careful, that's how Leos are made.

"u played yourself [emoji23][emoji23]", says rapist, while in fact playing himself.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The Patriots just signed Justify

 

[MrPryck2U]

My brain hurt reading that.

 

[DaveC]

Cleveland Browns Ban Wrong Guy From Stadium For Beer-Pouring Incident

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Word?

 

[mikal]

Word?

It doesn't matter what he wears because he has a superman costume under it!

 

[DaveC]

for the record, the fact that antonio brown is going to be allowed to play this sunday is fucking disgusting.

"it's a civil case", so you don't even bother benching the player for a game and doing your own investigation until you have a sense of whether or not you're employing a rapist for millions of dollars?

fuck the patriots and fuck the NFL. this is inexcusable.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Is this the NFL though? Sounds like an NFLPA clause to the commissioners list

 

[DaveC]

the article on NFL.com says the NFL has decided not to put him on the list and doesn't mention the PA at all.

Forget where I read it but it made it seem as though they could not exempt him on such grounds.

 

[DaveC]

AB won't be put on Commissioner's Exempt List - NFL.com

this is the article i'm referring too, it says nothing about them being unable to do it and it makes it sound like this was the NFL's decision (or lack thereof). it would be unprecedented because it's a civil case without a criminal investigation also ongoing. it's a bullshit excuse.

Ok - I’m not saying you’re wrong at all, but producing the article you read that “says nothing” about that isn’t the same as producing an article that clarifies the rules.

Anyways, I’m not sure how much of a bullshit excuse it is. We don’t really have all the facts. There’s great reason to believe AB is capable of this. Why the state declined to prosecute I do not know. But from the perspective of the NFL, they are in a sticky position. The patriots are in an even stickier position. Even when guilt is more or less written on the wall, due process is a must. Lay the facts out. If the facts are damning, the NFL needs to come down harder than they normally do.
