'Everybody does it': Lawrence Taylor defends himself for soliciting an under age prostitute

A football legend who was convicted over under age sex with a prostitute, has told an interviewer 'everybody does it', adding the case had left him 'screwed'. Ex New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who was caught paying a 16-year-old girl $300 to have sex with him in a hotel room, made the outrageous comments in a interview for Fox News last night.

Taylor, 52, was sentenced yesterday to six years probation and was forced to sign the sex offenders register.

I was just thinking that there probably are a lot of NFL players who are decent family men or even decent single men.

It doesn’t take too many Lawrence Taylors to give them all a black eye.

I saw a video of the young girl on TV this morning, along side Gloria Alred.

YIKES! I would think LT could afford something better looking than that skinny, horse faced skank.

But I guess when you lie down with dogs .......

Why don’t you go intercourse yourself you anti-Catholic pig.

Such fine representatives of your faith. I'm not anti-Catholic, just anti-pedophile. It's disturbing that you aren't...

[Mr. Silverback]

Once again you put words in people’s mouths, bigot.

Poking holes in your stupid, bigoted arguments doesn’t mean I don’t hate peophilia, it just means your arguments are stupid and bigoted.

To use a familiar turn of phrase, come back when you can argue like an adult.

Good point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_America

The initial summary and chart don’t cover special cases (such as the Hawaiian one you mentioned about being close in age), but the details mention them.

[grey_whiskers]

Understand the sentiment completely, but I doubt you'd be able to put it into practice against Lawrence Taylor unless you had a bazooka or an elephant tranquilizer...

NO cheers, unfortunately.

Yeah, the Mod had no problem pulling my post #49 because I used a cartoonist's spelling of a common vulgarity. Oooh, that's a no-no!

But a knuckle-dragging mouth-breather like Tsgt can post anti-Catholic bigotry on a thread about Lawrence Taylor, and that's just fine with Free Republic.

All you did was come here and start a flame war that you lost big time. You proved that your reading comprehension is as poor as your morals are. You are just anti-Catholic. Nothing more.

You post some ignorant “quotes” trying to justify your posts but too many here blew your misinterpretations out of the water. You’ve been owned and found wanting.

And yes, I am a fine representative of my faith. I don’t believe in standing by and letting a fool make statements that are nothing more than ignorant lies.

[d-back]

All you've done is expose yourself as a Catholic-hating bigot and a liar.

You hijacked a thread about Lawrence Taylor with a stupid comment--"the Church uses the same excuse for child rape"--that the Mods foolishly let stand. (It's still here).

You were then called out by many Freepers, and all you did was prove to everyone that you're just a bigot.

All in a day's work for TSgt, Anti-Catholic bigot.

[TSgt]

the Mods foolishly let stand. (It's still here).

One thing I've learned about Catholic FReepers is that they do not want to see, hear or debate anything negative related to their church. Instead of debating they hurl words like "bigot" just as a liberal would do. In fact, there's one Catholic FReeper who actually posts, "ANTI-CATHOLIC THREAD, IGNORE" or something childish like that. I call it, head-in-sand faith.

[d-back]

You didn't debate anything--you made a stupid, overbroad comment on a thread that had nothing to do with Catholics or the Church. You maligned the WHOLE Church--just like an unthinking liberal, by the way--and misrepresented the Church's position on priests who have abused children.

Your initial comment, and your subseqent comments, show that you ARE a bigot--that's not name calling, that's just accurate.

The fact that Free Republic has refused to remove your bigoted posts is another thing entirely. It's not the first time the FR Mods have shown how comfy they are with Catholic Bashing--the only acceptable prejudice on this website, I'm afraid.

Free Republic and TSgt: Perfect Together.

[TSgt]

Free Republic and TSgt: Perfect Together.

Thank you! Perhaps you would like DU better? Where people don't think for themselves.

"Everybody does it," LT says about getting caught having sex with an underage alleged hooker.

TSgt comments: "The Catholic church uses the exact same excuse when it comes to child rape." See post no. 4.

The FR Mods say: TSgt's post is not an offensive post because some Catholic priests raped children and some Bishops covered up the crimes.

So by this logic, the following three comments are NOT offensive posts that malign a whole class of individuals because of the actions of a few:

JEWS use the exact same excuse when it comes to FINANCIAL PONZI SCHEMES.

BLACK AMERICANS use the exact same excuse when it comes to RIOTING IN NEW ORLEANS.

The UNITED STATES MILITARY uses the exact same excuse when it comes to MURDERING INNOCENT NONCOMBATANTS.

If you're offended by those three grotesque and overbroad comments--and you should be--please ask the Mods to pull TSgt's bigoted post no. 4.

If you're not offended by the three comments, and you think TSgt's post no. 4 is just peachy, well, maybe you and TSgt should hang out. Or maybe you can be an FR Mod, too.

Watch how fast this gets pulled: The ONLY group that FR permits to be unfairly maligned with impunity are the Catholics.

[TSgt]

TSgt's post is not an offensive post because some Catholic priests raped children and some Bishops covered up the crimes.

Is this not a factual statement?

You have issues...
