I dunno.

But the media folks are visibly uncomfortable with the subject. I mean
they literally do not know ‘how’ to talk about it. If you watch the vid
on that link i posted — the one that starts with Skip Bayless — there is a moment
where one of the celebrity=pundits sez “shoving aside the rape allegation,
Winston’s character-issue incidents have been small” (paraphrasing).

I mean, he literally “shoved it aside” cause he didnt know
how to talk about it.

If you read all of the facts on that case, it’s obvious that local law enforcement just dropped the ball on the investigation. If they checked into all possible evidence immediately after the rape was reported, perhaps the authorities would have had a case. But, they didn’t do that, and therefore no case could be built. It sure looked like local police just didn’t want to dig into what might have happened that night. There was video at the bar that was never reviewed. There was video on Winston’s buddy that was erased without police asking for it. The case was allowed to go cold.

So if you are a celebrity-espn-pundit, and your job
is to hype sports stars, and get ratings,
how to you handle that?
I mean what do you say about Mr Winston every time his
draft status comes up?

You cant say ‘he’s a rapist,’
but you cant say’s “he’s not guilty”
either. There’s this big, dark “Unknown”
that shadows him. And the pundits
have no idea what to say about it — so,
they “shove it aside.”

Its just a weird dynamic, to me. A
surreal mix of Corporate-capitalism,
Celebrity-culture, Sports-Biz, Criminal-Justice-System,
Advertising-dollars, a football player, and a young woman.
