re: Rob Dauster trying to take down LSU basketball

A factual article that is trying to equate taking commitments from recruits not charged with any crimes, in cases handled in the public light, to athletic programs sweeping countless of allegations against players that happened on their campus while the players were on the team under the rug.
So it’s disingenuous to say the least

It's a shock journalism tweet to get people to click on a link. He couldn't have put "accused but not charged" on the thing everyone will see and not the 1% who take the time read his whole article? Obviously not because then people wouldn't care near as much.
Lsu has signed two players accused of rape
His article clearly points out the charges were dropped
Yall are getting mad at a journalist for writing an accurate article, because other people are idiots and may not read

if he would've put "accused but not charged" in the headline, i'd have no problems with it.

You saying what is required in the title to make you happy, when all that info is clearly in the article itself, is hilarious

The fact the word accused is there, is common sense they havent been charged........

I don't twitterbate, but a few clicks later I'm on some UNC player's twitter on which he says " Will Wade is scum."
Why he so mad?
Why he so mad?

You can get behind Wade and staff being fired if a player with no criminal history other than a accusation is again merely accused with no charges even brought?
In short, for the two guys mentioned in the article, yes.
LSU represents the state. With everything going on in the world, particularly at michigan state, you'd have to be a complete dumbass to take a chance on a kid that was accused of this. Right or wrong, it's not worth it.
I understand you can't predict 18-22 year olds behavior, but both of these guys have been accused once. If they get accused again then Wade was the idiot that brought them to LSU.

And it’s why I believe that Wade and his coaching staff should be fired if either Williams or Bigby-Williams has anything even close to an accusation of violence against women or sexual assault while on the LSU campus. If there are no serious repercussions for taking a risk that the kid you are bringing onto a college campus, where sexual violence is an epidemic, might actually be a serial sexual predator, then nothing is ever going to change.
So this guy is just writing this article just to ride on the Michigan State news wave. What a cünt.

Yes, the Tweet in this case leaving out a major fact is indeed shock journalism. It's leaving out a MAJOR part to that which is neither was ever charged. They were accused. Accusations happen a lot, not all of them turn into charges which in turn could turn into penalties.

We're getting mad at yet another half arse shock journalism attempt to get people to go out spatter negative shite about our program because, yes, many people dont like to read articles this day in age. They go with a tweet and boom, done.

I can get behind this. Bring them here. But it's on the coaches that recruited them, knowing their history, if the frick up.
I'd suggest that coaches take a back seat to those that actually work in law enforcement and the judicial branch of government.
It's crazy that anyone should think someone should be punished for "taking a chance" on someone who was not convicted of something.

A journalist writes an accurate article
The journalist tweets out with said article attached to tweet
Some people are lazy idiots who wont read
Blame the journalist for said people not reading the article that is attached to the tweet

Fair or not signing two guys accused of rape isn't a good look and will look extra bad on WW if any of our guys get in trouble. We'd judge any other coach if the same happened.

Funny he likes to mention they were "Accused" and not the part where both were never actually charged.
Yeah that's a massive difference.
I am a bit concerned reading about Williams. It said the girls friend had a text exchange with him while she was in the presence of the police where he admitted she did not consent. However, if that's true I'm not sure how they decided not to charge him.

There's a pretty big difference with just saying accused which could mean different stages.
I can accuse you right now of being a rapist, that would just mean you're accused and an investigation could be ongoing. A much worse look than:
Instead, these particular cases are long since over. They were accused, and nothing was filed because DAs saw no wrong doing to pursue any charges. It's over, they are no longer really accused and no legal action is being taken against them.
Pretty huge difference.

Well, the first time they would investigate, drop charges or whatever, then I'd transfer to LSU.
Now, the second time, if there was a second time, someone would have some explaining to do for letting me come to LSU when I had a history of being accused.
If I never get accused again, then it's a non-issue.
See how that works. It's on me to not put myself in a situation, (Bigby-Williams had sex with a passed out drunk girl, so he may want to start there), where I could be accused.

This is the society we live in, 95% of people will go with a tweet. Isn't there a stat out there most people get their news from tweets and facebook these days?
He took advantage of that by posting a shock tweet. Again, "no charges ever filed" and "no legal cases pending" isn't much to add but he left it out the tweet, I wonder why.
