What's ironic is that most of you hammer Alleva for the way he handled the Duke lacrosse players, now you want Williams treated the same way.

The guy wrote a factual article and didnt leave out the details (he points out exactly when the charges were dropped).
The article was an opinion piece that, while it does present facts, twists those facts to suit the author's theories. It shows biased judgment, unsurprising since it was an opinion piece, but it is also unsurprising that some people will disagree with the way the facts are presented.

The article offers nothing other than conjecture that most rape accusations are true. Based on that unproven assumption, it then advocates punishing athletes and coaches based solely on accusations. Basically, they are guilty unless proven innocent.

There is a big difference between recruiting players with a history of sexual misconduct and players who have one accusation that has not been proven to be true. There is also a big difference between a school that ignores or covers up misconduct by its athletes, and one that takes appropriate action and follows due process if allegations of misconduct arise.

The article suggests a subversive solution that might keep kids out of school, but it won't keep sexual deviants from molesting women.

People have to remember that we have had 2 football players
accused and suspended for violence against a woman.

After the investigation, it was proved that in both cases the women had lied about the violence and in one of the cases the woman had actually hit the football player numerous times and he showed restraint and didn't hit her back.

Exactly. Will Wade is helping and has stuck by two young men accused of something horrible. Neither were convicted. It's really unfortunate that a "professional journalist" would run the names of the kids through the mud as well as ridiculing a coach who was one of very few who didn't rush to judgment and throw these young men away.

What's really worse, a coach giving these guys a chance to get their lives back on track after being wrongfully accused of rape or an adult writing an article acting as prosecutor, judge, and jury when the fact is these kids weren't convicted of a damn thing. The writer seems like a racist
