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.

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.
