Okay, this guy Plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. So, he should make at least 300K a year.

He was charged with Sexual assualt, and NOW, he's been charged with breaking into a former teammates apartment and robbing the place.

Since he makes over 300K, why doesn't the media tell us this? How much his signing bonus was? The circumstances of the Sexual assualt he was charged with?

It doesn't say he's rich or priviliged in the article: How can this be? They didn't find someone to quote that stated Professional Athletes often feel like they are entitled and
are arrogant and aloof. They didn't name other football players that have committed sexual assault. The didn't tie his actions to a Culture of lawlessness or believing they are above the law. They made ABSOLUTELY no moral judgements about this man. They didn't not find a Sexual assault feminist activist to quote for the story to make a general statement about athletes and how they view women.
They didn't find a victim of buglary (in general) and quote him or her about how they felt when they were robbed.
We didn't hear how he attended college on an athletic scholarship and then didn't graduate. We weren't told how often these players have tutors do most of their work and
get passing grades just because they are athletes.

I am baffled and dumbfounded here. An arrogant, rich, priviliged athlete ALREADY charged with Sexual assault, robs
a former teammate and is caught, yet there is no outcry. There is no outrage. There are no marches. No organizations are formed. No one brings political pressure on his team to sanction him. We didn't even get a press conference from a DA.

Can this be right?
