Message: [QUOTE="Buzzyboy, post: 2018830, member: 1364"] I think that there are numerous times people post things that are OT or off topic that get a lot of response from numerous people and sometimes these off topics are out and out silly but if people choose to respond to them, so be it. This particular topic is not anything close to silly because though it obviously is not something related to women's basketball and definitely not to this program, there have been many reports over the years where stellar athletes have abused their celebrity or been given inducements that are reprehensible. All too many "star athletes" have thought themselves entitled to whoever or whatever as a result of America's obsession with great performers and even had boosters or coaches soliciting for them where they feel that anything or anyone they want is theirs for the taking. Maybe it isn't like thousands of cases but even if it was only a handful, it's TOO MANY! Only recently there was that issue with the Louisville men's basketball program and it happens all too often. That "come to our school and we'll set you up with some babes" kind of thing that is reprehensible. It's something that should not be ignored and should be snuffed out because it's just totally wrong. There are some stories that there just isn't "two sides to" and it's pretty apparent that the thing going on at Baylor with their football program is one of those stories. How many others don't get reported because of the ridicule that some women would be subjected to because the implication is "they were asking for it or they're sleazy or they're lying just to get notoriety or the public humiliation or fear of reprisal. There are some real issues in our society and a lot of women are subjected to some bad things that shouldn't be swept under the carpet but brought into the light of the day, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
