You know what's worse than a weird offseason thread?
The people who only post in those threads to say how bad they are. You don't like it? Don't read it. But don't waste everyone's time with this.
BTW - I'm sorry for your loss. I was a pall bearer at a funeral a few days ago and the loss of my loved one is tough, too. But our losses don't give us the right to rant at HuskerBoard members. Probably a good idea to stop using that as some validation of your position.

Question: If LP had assaulted a guy and that guy wanted LP to play so he could be paid his civil lawsuit award, would we be outraged?
Are people being sexist by claiming McEwen, as a woman, can't control her own opinions and hopes regarding how the injuries she suffered could be mitigated?
Assaulting anyone is wrong. Being paternalistic toward female victims strikes me as wrong, too.

St Paul, why do you think women can't control their feelings, emotions and own legal claims?
Because, "how else can you f'ing read your post?" other than that you think you have to treat women as subservient people different than how you'd treat men who were the victim of a similar assault.

Yeah, I think we're about done here.
Get it back to the original topic at hand or we'll just lock it up.

For you to assert that anyone is saying abuse of women is justified is just as astonishing. Your anger is affecting your comprehension.

I think this is true for most the parties involved in this thread.
Nobody wants to look at it as an event that happened long ago that can't be changed now. People are free to discuss whatever they wish, but getting so offended and upset the way some are is just over the top.

I have a hard time figuring how mood and temperment seems to be a thing some folks act like they have such good grasp of by simply reading words. I dont know how many times I've had to explain over the years I'm not pissy about anything because someone assumes I am mad or upset based on the words I use when I'm not. Is this just the result of our quickly growing, social media society where it seems every discussion takes such a toxic turn?

Holy cow! I leave for an hour and you fellas really moved the ball down the field on this thread! Way to go, guys!
First off, I didn't condone domestic violence. I said that Lawrence Phillips' behavior was a crime. I said it in the very post everyone is up in arms about.
So let's talk about this gem:
The issue being addressed was whether TO should have let Phillips play in view of what he'd done to Kate McEwen. And I pointed out that it was actually in Kate McEwen's best interest that he played, as it turned out, with the civil judgement and all.
Granted, my choice of wording was very poor ("Not a bad payday"), and LP's actions were criminal (as I said in my post). But you also have to remember that Kate McEwen was a college athlete and likely received injuries as bad or even worse that that on the basketball court. (And before any of you get on a high horse with a new strawman for me to address, No, I am not saying it's okay to beat up college athletes just because they're used to playing a little rougher than the rest of us.)
