Yet another rape allegation involving MSU basketball players.
Just heard this ! Wiw
MSU attacks the victim
(probably too late tbh)
NEVER look at the comments on ESPN.
Or any other mainstream sports site.
Or any site, really.
In fact, better to just avoid the internet entirely.
This here wonderful site, of course! <chuckles nervously>

The lowest of the low I've seen is the Dr Saturday comments. It's apparently where every racist goes to talk about sports
What sports can racists discuss? Curling? Cross country skiing? Uhhmm.. darts?
And the comment of the year so far.
I accept your nomination

Yet I go there just for the comments. Posters there are pretty on point.
Took the RCMB less than fifteen posts.

I'm surprised it took more than one
BURN IT DOWN.
Couches relishing their revenge about now
....why can't the players burn couches like their fans after big losses....
but seriously, staee fans need to realize there is a problem with their program and can not keeping blaming - a) the victims, b) Harbaugh, c) ESPN, or d) tooth fairy.
somebody stick a microphone in front of John Engler
except that this woman is not married. . . .
Three members of the MSU basketball team violently seduced her.
....and then they littered. Truly despicable.
They threw condoms out the window? Why thats...thats...just criminal. Unacceptable.
are going to spin this as a money grab. Go right after the institution and ignore the perps. you watch. . .

protection is already in place. I would say this goes nowhere like all the others.
Izzo had no idea.
The system didn't act, and hey, that's nobody's fault.
Can you PROVE Izzo knew?
This is all because of Larry Nasser.
The BLUE WALL strikes again.
ESPN at it again.
Travis Walton was never employed by MSU.
The prosecutor charges everybody with a felony from 1931.
Etc.
....please don't bother tom as he is out supporting the victims - while his team creates more.
tireless endeavor on Oct 20 in time to take only questions about basketball because the season is right around the corner ...
he goes into a five month hibernation.
Good god, this shit is ridiculous.
They have created a hostile environment. There is no salvaging this situation, it's rotted to the core. Izzo at the very least needs to be 'retired'.
....I dunno, he has taken a lot of bullets, he wants to come back!
If only someone would think of poor Tom and his players!
They need to start with the counselor...rubber hoses, pliers and a blow torch if necessary!
Absolutely disgusting.
Why aren't the (accused) rapists named or listed as defendants?
"Neither the woman, who is a current student, nor the three players, who are no longer at the school, are named in the lawsuit. Her attorney said the players are not being named because the focus of the lawsuit is "with the way she was treated by the university."
The attorney, Karen Truszkowski, told Outside the Lines that her client has not reported the incident to police, but, "I cannot say that she's not ever going to report it." The woman spoke to Outside the Lines only on the condition she not be identified because she fears revealing her identity publicly. The woman said she did not report the alleged assault to police in 2015 because she and some of her friends, who were younger than 21 at the time, had used fake IDs to get into a bar the night of the alleged incident, and she worried they would all get cited with underage drinking charges."
Life Pro Tip: Regardless of the circumstances, always report rape to the police.
I sincerely hope the campus counselors didn't play into those fears when urging her to not file a report.
Easy to say, but even incredibly sympathetic victims (say, Denhollander) catch an inordinate amount of shit until so many victims come forward that people cannot deny reality any longer.
Hell, read the comments any time Aly Raisman posts a photo of herself wearing anything less than a burqa on instagram.
Reporting sexual assault in East Lansing hasn't exactly worked out for a great many at MSU.
A culture of Lothario seducers and litterers, it seems.
MSU's 2014-2015 roster:

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I see three players with a C by their names; I don't think the C stands for Captain, I think it stands for Complicit.
could be. I dont want to speculate, but the espn article says none of the three players were on the team this year, so that eliminates a few...
MSU is such a shithole. That school is the fucking worst. Someone who was counseling rape victims actually told this poor girl that plenty of women who were raped by athletes and filed reports with the police made life tougher for themselves. Like, someone who is supposed to be counseling these women basically said “a lot of athletes rape women and the ones who report it have a tough life after telling the cops....proceed with caution one of the many women who are sexually assaulted here on campus.” Ugh, reading that report made me even more upset with MSU, which I didn’t even think was possible
It's telling that it took me a couple of minutes to figure out they weren't talking about the alleged rape by two former basketball players NOR the gang rape by 4 former football players, but a new batch of gang rape by 3 different basketball players.
But yes, poor Tommy Izzo didn't know anything.

"There are so many rapes by athletes at this school that the sample size of their victims catching shit for reporting it is statistically significant."
But the ESPN witchunt. /s
It's amazing how much noise they made about Gibbons when MSU is basically Baylor.
With a heaping dash of Penn State.
....can't wait to see how interim president engler blames ESPN???
I don't see how Izzo survives this. Honestly the whole "university" (rape factory) should be burned to the ground.
It’s pretty obvious they will do anything to protect him.
Well it’s starts with not addressing the problems. From there we go to redirecting and placing the blame on the victim. After that it comes down to the old nobody found any evidence. This was handled the “right way.” It’s like I’ve said, if you have kids, especially daughters don’t let them near that campus.
