I personally wouldn't want either. But I also wouldn't wait 30 years to report or sue someone for it

What do you mean I'm not engaging in good faith? Does that mean I'm supposed to agree with you? I'm answering your question. I'm saying both crimes are bad and can cause physical harm and bad memories for the woman that it happens to. Anyone can experience different violent crimes. If it's violent, I don't think the analogy is ridiculous. Take the car theft out of it. If a woman is simply walking down the street and gets beaten badly and doesn't report it for 20 years, you're cool with the fact she chose to ignore it. But give her a pass because for the other violent incident. Either one should be reported in a timely matter. What I am saying is, a lawsuit for something that happened or "apparently" happened 30 years ago would be something to question

If it's "ruining a black man's future" as the article puts it, I don't see why it would be any different, no. Is a team gonna draft a guy with with a physical assault that gave someone personal brain damage? I'd be willing to bet most teams would remove them off their draft board And again, you are ignoring the assault and just like anyone else just focusing on the car theft

They can both cause a lifetime of physical harm, correct? Shouldn't they both be reported sooner? Why don't you tell me what you mean? I can't answer your question because you are asking me how someone would have responded to something when I am not that particular person. Therefore, I don't have an answer to give you. That's like saying how do you think his person would respond to calling them fat?" I couldn't tell you. I'm not them

Well, the quicker something gets reported, the more I personally would believe it. The longer it goes and the more rich the person is that has allegations against them, the less it gets believed. You act like women have never lied before I honestly don't know

Let's take the guy part out of it. I should have used the woman as the example in both instances. The point is, they should both be reported in a timely matter. The longer it takes, the worse it looks for the woman. That's all I am saying

Being moronic how? So forced sex is the problem? But not being beaten to pulp and getting permanent brain damage? I'm done

It doesn't matter. Any kind of violent crime should be reported in a timely matter. A regular assault can cause lifetime physical harm just as much as a rape could. The longer it takes to report, the more ridiculous it looks and the less likely the person it to be believed

Lol. So, a woman is gonna say "I don't care if I'm beaten badly and get permanent brain damage from it as long as he doesn't try to force sex on me, it's all good"? I really don't care how someone tries to spin it, they are both bad. But one gets a lifetime pass and the other would be looked at as ridiculous 20+ years later. Lol ok

Again, as you so graciously ignored, the last comment I made to you was if you put a woman in BOTH scenarios, why does she get a pass for a rape but not an assault that leaves her with possible permanent brain damage? They are both violent crimes and should be reported in a timely matter. One should not get a pass over the other

Did you miss the part where I said assault and car theft? Or did you leave that out intentionally? How about you answer the question. Is rape worse than being beaten to a pulp and getting your car taken away? If it was a woman in both scenarios, and she chose not to report either or for 20 plus years, you would be ok with her waiting to report the rape but not the assault? One violent crime gets a pass and the other doesn't? OK then

You have absolutely no proof of that. How about we put a woman in this scenario. Would you believe her and think she should get paid if she was assaulted and beaten and had her car stolen 23 years ago and is now looking to file a lawsuit? Or is it only in rape cases that she is "telling the truth" and that's ok?

No, I didn't. The main reason I brought this up is assault and rape or whatever, should be reported in a timely matter. And the longer you wait the more ridiculous it looks. So, if someone gets beaten to a pulp and has their car stolen, that's a lot better than rape? They are both crimes that would harm either individual but one person gets a pass and the other gets criticized. Assault and rape are both major crimes

If I was assaulted and beaten and had my car stolen in 2002 and I just now came forward with it with a lawsuit, how would that look? How is it also any different from this? Granted, rape and the situation I'm referring to are different allegations. But the time frame of reporting would cause concerns, correct? I bet all the people saying "women should be able to report 20, 30, 40 year old rape allegations" would also be asking why it took so long for a person to report an assault and theft of property over 20 years later, right? Why do women always get a pass in this case?

The longer it takes for women to come out, the harder they are to believe. And him being an ex NFL player, you don't think he has somewhat of a nice nest egg? Maybe the women themselves have been in better financial situations over the last 30 years. A lot can happen to people in that time. Someone may be financially stable at one point in their life and then for a number of reasons, something happens and they become desperate for money. I personally feel the smartest thing for any woman to do is report is as soon as possible. If he did this to 10 different women at the same time and not one says something over 30 years and then boom he is hit with 10 all at once 30 years later, it just screams money grab to me. Maybe it isn't but I do agree, woman should come out sooner
