Jets legend Joe Namath accused of allowing child sex abuse at football camp: ‘From hero to zero’

Haven't followed football ever. As a physically slight boy, who got buried in a pileup once, I lost all interest. But I admired OJ Simpson, who turned out to be a cocaine abusing wife beater and murderer. I admired Joe Namath, who apparently was just as bad. I also admired Bill Cosby the rapist. Sports and entertainment icons cannot be trusted (Nobody better tell me any dirt about Flip Wilson, or I'll freak).

Everybody’s an “FN” victim these days.

Flip was a cross dresser. /rimshot

Cue the Bongino rule. Wait 72 hours before commenting.

So 50+ years ago, Namath let his name be associated with a camp for young people. Now HE is responsible for something someone did? This is just a torpedo shot into the legal system hoping to make a buck.

What did Joe do to pi$$ off the Democrats?

“I admired Joe Namath, who apparently was just as bad.”

Based on what? The man says Namath “should” have known. Is that evidence? Maybe in the 13th century.

Guess it takes more than running, jumping, throwing, and catching stuff to be viewed as having value to todays audience

Good rule.

Met Namath on the sidelines at a UA game in the 80’s. Was in the MDB. He signed my glove before halftime.

Accused of being aware of something someone else allegedly did 51 years ago.

Sounds like a shakedown.

"The man says Namath “should” have known."

Good catch. There should be a countersuit for slander.

Very few people in the world get to be on top of the world without being a fundamentally bad person or compromised. Being compromisable is the gate to worldly wealth.

Namath and an old friend of mine used to run a football camp right at the end of my road. I met and ran into him many times. Decent guy but the partying was way over the top. I’m not saying I believe or dis-believe the accusation, I’ll just say when I knew him the partying was out of control.

Get bent, loser.

The Post should hang its head in shame that it has to print such crap. This belongs in the National Enquirer or such other trash publication if at all.

I went to a Joe Namath camp, all I remember was the bad food, tuna salad, all the time.

No molestation, it was at a Western Maryland college, everybody was professional.

I had worse experiences in my family home.

“Accused of being aware of something someone else allegedly did 51 years ago.”

He alleges that Namath was involved in covering it up. That’s a different matter entirely.

[jimwatx]

So this guy continued going to that football camp for another 2 years after the abuse. I don’t know what’s up with him but if I was 12 and some grown man came on to me I would have stopped him immediately in no uncertain terms. This guy apparently went along with it because he was receiving special favors. Now he wants to blame Joe Namath looking for money. It’s not Joe’s fault this little punk went along with his fag abuser. If anything he should have sued the abuser.

“Smith alleged that Namath’s negligence is analogous to that of the late Paterno”

From Smith: Namath should have known. Not analogous. Paterno knew and was active in the coverup.

51 Years ago??? This guy’s retirement nest egg must be depleted from Bidenomics!
