re: NY Times documents how the Tallahassee police are in bed with FSU football

I'm glad someone in the press is putting pressure on the situation, since there are still many unanswered questions.
But did the NY Times open a satellite office in Tallahassee or something? It seems odd that they're pushing the issue hundreds of miles away when UConn has a serious, documented sex scandal on their hands with Title IX implications. Moreover, Rutgers has problems in their athletic department that warrant deeper investigation (and would likely produce a lot more material than a list of bb gun violations).

Neither of those teams have a heisman winning QB that just won the national title last year.

I definitely can see that as a reason. But, then again, the average New Yorker doesn't care about college football. There's just something about the reporting that strikes me as tone-deaf. Nothing I read in that article is terribly different from the relationship between football, the local economy, and the police departments in Ann Arbor, Madison, State College, or any number of university towns.
I suppose if they had used Tallahassee as an example of a larger issue pertaining to college athletics, and not implied that it's an isolated case, I would trust the NY Times's motives more.

It's hard to disagree for the most part. That being said, I always thought the most egregious part of the rape allegations was the handing of the investigation, regardless if there was truly any wrongdoing. It just seemed so poorly mishandled that both parties (i.e., girl and Jameis) were and continue to be put in a position where some in the public will question their side.

The NY Times has a national audience. Washington Post, LA Times, etc. do as well. If you're dismissing their article because you think they only service one city then I can't help you.

Were you dropped on your head or are you just that stupid? The NYT is an international publication.

Not to be that guy..... But, just b/ c she went home with them doesn't mean shite. You know how many chicks my friends and I brought home with us after a bar? A bunch. Some came to party, some came to be dirty and some Thought they wanted to be dirty then backed out. I'm not saying we were Florida state football players but we played baseball and it isn't that terribly hard to get chicks home. But, if she doesn't want to frick... Oh well chalk it up as a loss and get made fun of by your friends b/c you couldn't close.
Not saying they raped her. But, there is definitely some suspicious shite that went on.

Dude, this and the FOX Report go way, way beyond Winston-- the cover up was some Penn State level stuff, if true its not a "Winston is gone" issue anymore its a "FSU is stripped of 10-20 schollies a year" type of deal, maybe even worse if the Feds buy in as this would be case that would let them make statement about Rape on campus.
seems like it
