Am I reading this right? Did ESPN sit on evidence for NINE YEARS?

I hate the word “inappropriate.” Call it what it is-—child rape.

From what I have seen, the media is almost always complicit in these cases. They only get all moral when they decide they want to destroy someone.

The story is poorly written, but I read it the same way you did. It sounds like ESPN sat on the tape for 9 years for whatever reason. The sports media likes Cinderella stories. Not icky boy-rape stories. Sports make $$$$$. The media counts the cost to determine what stories are worthy of publishing and what stories are not. Boy-rape stories are not worth it.

I read this thing twice and can’t make anything out of it. Did the tapes just turn up? Obviously the writers first language isn’t English.

(9 YEARS of media coverup?

The same as Penn State and Paterno and Spanier.

I have been dealing with this homo rape problem for boys for a number of years now. Normal men DO NOT want to even think about that and don’t know any better that they HAVE to deal with it because it is irresponsible and cruel to stick their heads in the sand. Men will shut you up if you try to tell them about it because they don’t want to deal with it.

A local school system where I once lived released the middle school’s sex ed curriculum which was basically gross in it’s graphic depiction of homo sexual behavior. It was grooming 101. When I showed it to some dads on the side of the sports field, you would have thought I put a cross up to vampires. None of them wanted to deal with it and seemed angrier at me for showing them than they were at the homos who were bothering their sons and daughters at school.

Men who don’t know and/or don’t want to know are going to have to be confronted. I think they are afraid of homo drama themselves. They don’t want to stand up to them and use their power to make them put their adult sex in the closet (private), where it belongs. It has to stop. Only men will stop it. If they fail to do that, homos will be legally raping boys in a few years from now.

Strangers at schools - government employees - have no right to be talking to children about sex. They have abused that trust and now sex education must be handled by parents privately - outside the school system. Teachers have no business inserting themselves into the sexuality of children.

It’s not ESPN’s job to report this to the authorities. This is an adult making the claim - he’s the one who should go to the police, which he did and was dismissed.

If ESPN was an eyewitness to molestation, as Coach McQueary claims he was in the Penn State case, that’s a different story.

I realize we get jaded with media charges against Republicans but a news organization is supposed to sit on a story until it can be corroborated, which it sounds like ESPN could not do probably because the police didn’t file a report.

Charges like this are highly prejudicial and hopefully we all remember the damage done to the young athletes in the Duke Lacrosse case. It’s also possible that cases like Duke’s or the Olympic Park bomber are exactly why news organizations shouldn’t be in a headlong rush to spread salacious stories until they can get some independent verification first.

media coverups...John Edwards, Bill Clinton, why hasn’t a childhood friend of Barrack Obama’s come forward, a girlfriend, or a classmate, and now the media is letting a child molester run free

Syracuse won the NCAA mens championship in 2003. Oviously, this was going on at the same time...possibly explains why ESPN sat on it..
