I hope it is not true. It has been a clean year so far.

Oh wonderful, just what we need.


Blame Smoot

Well, about half the Vikings have homes in Eden Prairie (including Smoot WVV ), so that doesn't exactly narrow it down.

We will have to wait and see what developes with this story and the person is innocent until proven guility so lets hope that this is a misunderstanding.


But if it is true I don't understand why you put yourself in this kind of a position?
If you need some that bad make a booty call, or call a professional.


I wonder how Childress will handle it.

the person is innocent until proven guilty

Yes they are.
Thank you for reminding us of that whack.
Sometimes people (myself included) have a tendency to judge pro athletes before we have the evidence.

On a side note, it was not a sexual assault, so more likely some kind of domestic battery.
The women in question could be a spouse or girlfriend.

If these accusations prove to be true and this person is found guilty (whoever it is), I'm sure Childress will take the appropriate actions and punish them as he sees fit under the guidelines of our team's new culture of accountability (which I fully agree with).

The beeyotch probably had it coming!

JUST KIDDING!!!!!

It is hard to remember that sometimes, that they are innocent until proven guilty.

I remember myself thinking with the whole Duke Lacrosse scandal, 'young boys are perverts, and they probably did it'.
And look, I was a total idiot, the more evidence that came out, the more it showed they really didn't do it.
But to judgemental people like me, they were already convicted.

So, I'll withhold ANY judgement UNTIL the evidence supports it - or the player admits it.

*Side note:
It was probably Denny Green again.......and he falsely identified himself as a Vikings player.

Excellent journalism there.
Report an event without names.
:

Unfortunately all it takes sometimes is for someone to be accused of something and it ruins their name.
I know of a situation where a young woman accused a professor of sexual advances because she received a bad mark in his class.
The fallout resulted in an article in the school newspaper, administrative leave, and a ruined reputation.
It ends up that two months later she went public saying she was sorry and she made up the accusations because she was angry.
It was too late for this guy, his reputation was tarnished already.

Hopefully these allegations are false.
