This incident allegedly took place more than a year ago.
I gotta admit, if Amare was accused of sexual assault I’d probably believe it. But Ben?? Good ol’ Ben? But he looks so friendly. Golddigger.
I still think Plexico got a raw deal. It was stupid to carry a gun, but just gun possession should not be a crime.
This is easy. People want to give non-thugs the benefit of the doubt.
As an unemployed white male, I apply for countless jobs and I am required to answer the EEOC portion of the application otherwise it WILL NOT be considered.
HOWEVER, if I apply for the same job with the same resume under a different email address and respond as a BLACK MALE, I get a response ALL THE TIME.
NO THERE IS NO RACISM GOING ON HERE, BECAUSE I AM WHITE.
NEW RULE:
If you don’t file a police report, A CRIME DIDN’T HAPPEN.
It didn’t even “allegedly” happen.
Any civil trial should weigh this heavily.
Funny. Around here they’re covering it. They didn’t make a huge deal of it when Jerome Bettis was falsley accused of a similar thing a few years ago. Not that I recall.
Why does it seem that the more equality that is happening the worse the complaining of racism is getting? This is ridiculous.
I think the chick in question is being paid to distract Ben such that his playing suffers. Why didn’t she go to the police? Why wait a year to file a lawsuit?
I guess when 90% of criminal athletic incidents involve “people of color” and usually guns and trials, it is news. Especially murder and dogfighting.
A year-old deranged woman who makes an non-criminal accusation about Ben is not the same as OJ, Iverson, Kobe or Ray Lewis, sorry.
The media loves to slam white guys, Bob Ley does a Liberal apology show every night on ESPN. The recurring theme of illigitimate, poverty-stricken guy given an apologist, redemption Hollywood-esque twist for positive PR is the steady diet the sports media loves.
I hate ESPN, I turn off the sound.
A year ago. No criminal complaint. Only a demand for money. There IS no news here, just attempted blackmail.
Amare Stoudemire - another American multi millionaire that can not speak English
Ben’s got a civil complaint, the woman has never filed any sort of criminal charges... anyone can civilly sue anyone else for anything.
Claiming this situtaion is the same as the criminal actions against other is laughable.
Frankly, given the no threshold required for a civil complaint I personally as an editor would not have run the story either. This is TMZ rumor mill crap at this point.
A year later the woman files a civil complaint? Never ever filed a criminal complaint? Drivel as far as I’m concerned.
