People are allowed to feel multiple ways at once. People are allowed to believe in innocent until proven guilty and that people of color obviously have suffered the most in accusatory situations like this, and at the same time believe that we need to listen and take seriously when people claim a sexual assault has happened to them.
That’s what I meant by the fact that this whole thing is gross. It just is.

the idea that one of them could be charged with rape because they were in a dark, packed bar along with other dozens of other dark-skinned men--and nothing more beyond the assertion of a woman that she looked up a bunch of people on the internet later and she thinks it was one my kids, should deeply offend you.
maybe there is more but it's not looking that way. no one should tolerate this in modern america.
and getting back to me, i'm lucky in that no one is going to confuse any of my kids with an all american.

Like I’ve said before, having three daughters has made this whole thing just gross for me.
Feeling conflicted and stressed about the ramifications from all of this just demonstrates the complexity of the situation.

and stop posting any opinions in this thread. It doesn’t seem to be going well for me. Related to GMAW’s post, I should stop worrying about what could go wrong and just enjoy that one my favorite all-time Illini players is back.

Had a light practice due to late arrival back from Michigan, another practice today.
