It would be incredibly easy to prove my innocence. A bank statement, an ATM receipt, a witness who says they gave me the money, etc, etc, etc. Your example is horribly stupid. The notion that you think it's just he said she said, without anyone actually asking questions that would establish whose account is accurate is incredibly foolish.

They're not criminal cases, but a lot of them are certainly civil cases. It's one thing to prove something criminally when you have to be completely certain. It's another to prove it in civil court where you only have to establish that it's more likely it happened than it didn't.

Ugh. You're a lost cause. Everyone should be responsible for their actions.... unless they're men who assault women. They should just be left alone. It's the woman's fault she was there in the first place. She should own that it's her fault she got raped. Jesus Christ man.

Sure, but the issue with almost every sexual assault case is that the public's initial reaction is that the victim is out to get the accused. Numerous people in this thread have said that accusers flat out should not be believed. That's what you're up against when you get sexually assaulted. The public, and mostly men aren't going to believe a word you say under the premise you're trying to gain financially or even politically. That reaction is the reason why people don't come forward. Some guy just said that if we were standing beside each other on the street, and I had $50 and he saw a cop and told him I stole it, that I'd just go to jail. Sorry but that's not how it works. The cop will likely ask some questions. Maybe I have a bank receipt that shows I recently went to the bank. Maybe I have someone who can explain that they gave me the money. You can actually establish the facts of the case by talking to people and examining evidence. The same can be said about a sexual assault allegation. It's not just he said, she said. As someone said earlier, why do people think hardly any accused men sue for defamation? Ughhh, because they're almost always in the wrong and if they give a false deposition they can purger themselves. Remember when Donald Trump said he was going to sue everyone who accused him, and then he didn't. The reason why is pretty obvious.

Oh man. They don't deserved to be believed? Sexual predators should just be left alone to ruin peoples lives so long as they're careful about not getting caught. God forbid anyone accuse someone for severe misconduct unless they have concrete evidence that it happened. Holy crap.

Again, you've got to start somewhere. 30 years ago women wouldn't have dared to speak out. Now they are. That's progress.

Women don't need my protection, but they deserve to be heard and believed. The fact that people like you never believe victims is what leads them to stay quiet for years before it's convenient for them to speak up. Your take is so antiquated. Sympathizing with men for "having their lives ruined" and blaming women for their "choices" when in a lot of these situations people should be demanding the opposite to happen. Gross.

Why would you assume they're unfounded? You just proved exactly why people don't come forward immediately. Your post is textbook victim shaming...

Rogers Centre has no drainage system. If it rains, or it snows, there's nowhere for the water to go.

You've got to start somewhere. Maybe in 30 years we'll live in a society where victims feel comfortable coming forward immediately. Reality is that we're not there yet.

It's not a feeling. There's plenty of research by trained psychologists that explains why victims don't immediately come forward.

I don't think you're really in a position to tell anyone when and how they should report sexual assault. The reason most people don't initially come forward is the fear of not being believed and the consequences that follow personally, and professionally.

These things are very hard to "prove". There are rarely any witnesses.

I'm pretty sure the NFL collectively has a rule that says all domes must be closed if the temperature is below a certain mark.

Cool conspiracy theory.

Good QBs don't come from the Free Agent Market. We need to draft and develop our own guy.

Meh. He's a QB who set numerous records this year and last I checked we need an upgrade there.

It's not one game. I'm pretty sure the weather is usually bad throughout November and December. With a closed dome, no one would have to worry about the conditions, and you would have more demand for tickets by people who usually wouldn't go when the weather is poor, like the elderly and children.

Totally agree. Just build in Buffalo a version or Ford Field and 95% of the fan base will be happy. They'll also add a bunch of fans who refuse to go to games when the weather is bad.

Remains to be seen if we have a shot at any of the top guys. Given how many teams need a QB that's probably unlikely.

If the Titans lose out (they'll be underdogs in all three of their remaining games), we have a pretty straight forward path to the playoffs.

Based off what we know, Watson should have been the #1 overall pick and if he was available with the 10th pick we should have picked him.

Hard to imagine the Bills spending about a Billion dollars on a new stadium and risk the weather keeping 10-20k fans away from the games like was the case yesterday. If you're going to spend money on a stadium, you spend money on a stadium that will be inclusive to as many people as possible regardless of what the weather is like. A dome makes the weather irrelevant to the elderly and the young, and you avoid situations like yesterday where there are thousands of empty seats because people don't want to go freeze their you know what off in the freezing cold for 4-6 hours depending on when you arrive to tailgate.

And if they fall out of a playoff spot they'd drop to 17.

I expect a first round pick to be more than just average. And I haven't seen anything from Zay Jones. His catch rate is the worst from an NFL receiver in over 10 years. He's not explosive, doesn't generate much separation and offers nothing on special teams. I don't see a bright future for him at all.
