False accusations are far and away the exception, not the rule, and far too many cases of domestic and/or sexual violence go unreported. It’s possible, and imperative, to truly withhold judgment and give both accuser and accused the benefit of the doubt in these cases. “Let’s wait to see what happened” shouldn’t mean implicitly throwing the alleged victim under the bus.
I won’t try to say when or in what political camp it started, but I do think popular culture which normalizes referring to women as bit**es, hoes, and birthing parents has led to an erosion of respect for women and hence encouraged bad behavior. Emphasizing that women are particularly deserving of kindness and respect might be a good way to turn that around.
Duke has a history of false allegations.EXACTLY!!! We just saw a female Duke basketball player make sorts of false accusations about a fan in the stands at BYU. They reviewed the film and the guy was completely innocent, never made the comments attributed to him. Ms. Staley of USCjr of course rushed to judgement and made an ass of herself jumping the gun. How quickly we forget the Duke lacrosse team and many other falsehoods that prevail initially. Not ever domestic violence victim making that claim is legit. Let the facts prevail and act accordingly.
Duke Volleyball, not basketball. I would hope Kara Lawson the HC for the basketball team would hold her girls more accountable for their false accusations than what the volleyball coach did.EXACTLY!!!

Last time they sided w/ the accusers instead of their students before they had all the facts. This time they sided w/ the accuser/student instead of waiting for the full facts to come out.Duke has a history of false allegations.
It sounds like Heupel and Danny White have all the evidence they need. He’s no longer on the roster. I don’t think anyone wants to throw someone off the team, therefor I believe that whatever they have on tape gives a clear indication of what happened.If it is recorded on camera, he is toast and should be. If not, don't rush to judgment. The media falsely reports stories that fit their agendas. Duke volleyball, Duke Lacrosse, Jussie Smollet and many others, but if there is proof of him striking her he should pay the price.
Joe Mixon slapped the botox out of a girl and he is still playing with the Bengals!

To be clear she slapped him first and he hit her back but his blow was way too much of a response. At worst he should have just pushed her away from him to get some distance at best he should have just walked away. To his credit he has been a model person since.
Agreed, and I have already explained the hot/crazy matrix to my son.. I told him to go for the quietly pretty girls with other things going for them in their lives than just boys..it’s pretty simpleNo idea the circumstances so I won’t comment on his situation. Young men need to learn to remove themselves from these situations when they can. If you’re in a relationship with crazy get out. If you’re in a heated argument take a walk and cool down. It’s just not worth letting a bad decision ruin your life.
And should be.If he is actually on camera kicking and hitting her he is history.
