“Do me a favor, tell your wife that being in a water fight with your pals is the same hiring a stripper for poker night at your house.

“In any case, the parallel you gave ain’t a parallel.”
My point was that if that’s the worst that could be found to say against the players, then the concocted media narrative that they were bad actors was simply convenient fiction.
(as well, many of the players did not even know there were going to be strippers until they were asked to contribute to their fees)
Those who left when they heard of it did well, but still, why did they have to leave?
Because the company of fellows on that team was dominated by fellows that needed a harsh lesson. In other words, it was bad company. Hang out with bad company and risk this kind of spiraling out of control cascade of events.
Those who though it was just honky dory to hire ‘adult dancers’ — why were they the opinion leaders of the team?
