I actually thought Rabalais was a bit too harsh on Orgeron for this and I really like his articles for the most part. He even explained in his article what "protect the team" meant by not doing anything dumb to jeopardize yourself and putting the team in danger.

I actually took more away from the fact that he brought people in to talk to the team about domestic abuse and treating women the right way. I figured he had done something like that and is why I wasn't faulting him when the Davis news came out.

Agree with this. O went out of his way with the team to make players realize what an issue this is.

In addition, you don't just start hammering your players until the facts are in. This women recanted her story before Rabalais' article was in print.

How was Rabalais too harsh? O thinks our players need to think about not hurting the football team to motivate them not to beat the crap out of innocent women? The motivating factor should be that hurting innocent people is wrong. If that’s not enough to motivate them then they’re a ticking time bomb to do something stupid and hurt somebody
