re: Should the NFL Hall-of-Fame elect a rapist?

A lot of the players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame are complete scumbags anyway. Why should it matter if one more is added?

The argument that POSs were previously inducted is not an argument that the Hall should continue to induct POS.

I would argue that argument is fundamentally similar to not updating the statistics required for entry, even though the game changes over time. Which as we know, is not what happens.

The Hall has every right to make moral character a bar to entry if it so chooses. This does not require that it systematically review previous entrants, though again, it could if it so chooses.
