HBO released a trailer for their documentary on the sexual assault scandal in Ohio State's athletic department.
I am surprised this is the first I have heard of this, but it sounds pretty terrible.

Incredibly fucking glad this is done this way. Now maybe people will not laugh when men complain of SA.
This shit always happens at B10 schools (MSU, PSU, Michigan all had issues harboring a serial rapist/sexual abuser), and I think it's in part due to the B10 schools being obsessed with maintaining a virtuous, higher-than-thou, image. The SEC is equally as ruthless, but they don't make an effort to hide it.
Northwestern in the corner liberty style watching your comment
Forgot about them too smh
I am always very wary of any person or organization that loudly proclaims their virtuous-ness - generally speaking I find that the people who talk the loudest about such things are in truth the least virtuous. The quiet folks who humbly do their best through actions are much easier for me to trust
1000% agree. Don't talk about it, be about it.
Preview- 2.5 hours of the worst shit you've ever imagined- terrible rapes, assaults etc... then at the end "no comment, no charges filed, no action taken" ...
The Jim Tressel+ years at OSU are going to eventually be a years worth of documentaries once everything comes out. Their are sone really fucked up "rumors" from some insiders I know. It's a mess.
Is that plus sign your way of referring to everything after Tressel? Or are you referring to his time period and adding some kind of asterisk?
its a good question - I initially read it as Jim Tressel years and every year since then but now I'm not sure
This is what I intended, lots of things started with tressel
like what?
Figured that was a way of saying Urban Meyer without having to like Luke Fickell
Would it be a violation of community guidelines to mention the plurality of victims came from the wrestling team, for which an assistant coach had been accused by multiple members of having been made aware of such abuse, and despite being a mandated reporter, failed to do so and currently sits as a member of congress?
in all likelihood it does go a bridge too far
that said, I think most politicians have skeletons in the closet so this isn't really....new?
Maybe I'm a bit optimistic, but I don't think most of those skeletons rise to the level of covering up systematic rape/abuse of teenagers.
this is fair
the way American politics is currently structured, though, it takes a certain type of individual to make it and that type of individual is often sick and twisted in some form. Are they all covering up heinous crimes? Probably not all of them, no. But I'd wager a good portion of them have done horrendous things, or turned a blind eye to horrendous things, that we commonfolk can't even (or don't want to) imagine. Another trend I've noticed, often times when a politician accuses their political opponents of something awful, a lot of the times they themselves are guilty of said accusation. It's weird but it happens with more frequency than you'd think. I guess in a way they recognize that what they're doing is wrong or unsavory but because they are in a weird bubble where it seems pretty common they probably assume that if they're guilty of it so is their opponent.
