Someone shut down the Florida State football program and culture -- NOW -- or someone is going to die.

No, that's not a threat from me.

It's an observation given actions Deadspin has reported (through the Tampa Bay Times) late this afternoon by members of the Florida State Football Apologists Rapeis Winston Fan Club toward the news reporter who broke the story on Rapeis being Rapeis.

Matt Baker chronicles his experience with the story, and how the accuser has been driven from the school.  It's pretty standard Football Man Gotta Rape To Protect His Spot (So We Have To Protect "Protected Man") BULLSHIT, but the fact of the matter is simple:

If someone does not take the fucking "football town" out of Tallahassee, Florida damned good and quick, someone is going to die at the hands of someone protecting the Florida State football program, culture, and reputation.

I said it, I meant it.  Someone is going to kill a reporter, a DA, an accuser, etc. to protect a university and football team rapidly accumulating a reputation of sexual assault, degradation, and Football Over Life that eerily mirrors places like Stubenville, Ohio and State College, Pennsylvania.

And here's the worst part of it:  The accuser may be about to go back into the line of fire.  According to the Matt Baker article, she took part in a documentary of the epidemic of rape and sexual assault on college campuses called The Hunting Ground.  It is scheduled, within a month, to be released in Florida, if not nationwide.

How are we to know that some Goddamned Seminole Jackoff is not going to go and decide the only way this woman is going to shut up about Football God and #1 Draft Pick (to Tampa Bay, ironically!) is to be shut up:  Once, For All, and Permanently...
