The link in post 54 is interesting. Beginning at 7:30 ... and on.
I hope Mark Madden has some good personal bodyguards.
Exactly right on the “rumor” notion. People from as low down as the janitors and as high up as the school Prez new at least something. As I stated before, even in my HS or heck, the grocery store I work at now, when there is something fishy going on EVERYONE hears about it no matter how minor. I got rear-ended a couple weeks ago on my way to work. By the time I walked through the door half the employees had already heard about it. So, you can’t tell me that something THIS serious wasn’t at least heard about by nearly everyone in that football program.
And his wife! Come on! He brought these kids to her home repeatedly, for years. She’s either the dumbest person alive or she was also and enabler and should be ashamed of herself. How you stayed married to a monster like that, I’ll never know. I’d be sick, just sick that he ever touched me in any way.
I feel a larger issue here too is that this is an example of what happens when we make idols of men. We place them on pedestals, we make excuses for their wrongdoing, turn the other cheek or simply fail to believe what they have done. In turn, they idolized grow larger than life in their own minds believing themselves to be invincible and above the law.
We have created this monster in our society by giving too much power to the famous. Too much influence in our judgments and thinking.
It’s exactly why Obama gets away with repeatedly breaking the law.
