And if anyone wants to know how the above can happen, here's how the media makes spousal abuse desirous...

I'm rearranging a bit, as I want to leave the Penn State article on top.  I am posting this afterward.

My anonymous friend pointed this out to me (as well as the Pasch article), for which I do say thanks.

What gets to me is how we can get to the point that we actually, on a corporate and sports level, make THIS OK.  The NCAA has basically said that a member organization can cover up for child rape, pedophilia, and the like, and there's not a damn thing they will do about it.

Now what would allow for such what Keith Olbermann has already called a "damnable deal"?

I'll give you one example, in the form of Lanny Davis.

He has condemned all of us for a rush to judgement on that Roger Goodell lied about not knowing about the Ray Rice tape.

He firmly believes, since the NFL commissioned the NFL to investigate the NFL to find out if the NFL did anything wrong, and since the NFL-led investigation has PROVEN BEYOND ALL SHADOW OF DOUBT that the NFL did nothing wrong, that we all need the shut the fuck up.

To which I say, Lanny (who is a former Special Counsel to Bill Clinton and an executive vice president of a strategic communications firm -- and I don't want to know what that all entails vis-a-vis Washington, DC):  FUCK YOU.

You are effectively, at that point, throwing the Atlantic City Police Department under the bus, whom, within 48 hours of the Goodell claims, reported to the Associated Press that the league had the tape long before the league claimed they did.

You are effectively shilling for a league that had to take a former league executive into the office between two appearances on SportsCenter and coach Bill Polian on what he was "supposed to say" to make the league look good on the whole damnated affair.

And, why wouldn't you do that?  Dan Snyder employed your sorry ass to defend the Redskins name.  Between Snyder and the Redskins yourselves, the editor of your hit-piece basically had to disclose that you've worked for NFL entities on at least THREE OCCASIONS since 1990.

Don't GIVE ME THAT SHIT.

It is becoming more and more evident with each passing micro-second that the only way you can be a sports fan these days is to be utterly blind AND brain-dead!!!
