I hate to tell you, but you should know, one “oh crap moment” can erase a thousand thattaboys, but it’s the truth. Henry Ruggs, Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, etc.
As far as defamation goes, you should get sued for that if you do cause damages.
If sex between Araiza and the 17 year old was consensual, I personally would not press charges unless Araiza was aware that he had an STD before relations. That has to be a crime.
Of course it proves guilt! The man slept with a woman whilst he had an STD. You certainly cannot trust his character at this point unless he was unaware that he had an STD in the first place.
I think it’s great that you point that out Simon, because that shows malicious intent and bad moral character. So if we put two and two together here, Matt Araiza is pond scum.
Legality does not constitute morality.
Do you think it’s okay for a 70 year old to be involved with a 19 year old? It’s legal, but is it moral?
My true feelings are simple. Araiza was 21, she was 17 and he thought she was 18, that does not make Araiza a predator in my eyes, BUT if this man is knowingly implicit in any way whether directly or indirectly in terms of this young girls rape, he should be charged with the fullest extent of the law.
My friend, I cannot spend 20 minutes reading through this. It’s better to say many things with few words than it is to say very little with many words.
In response to your thread though and in respects to Allen and Dorsey, I will say this. I hope that Allen reaches a point where he is like Brady and Manning and he calls all the plays and our offense goes through him. It may take some more development before that happens though, but I think he’s getting there.
This totally works to her benefit though and I am very happy that it does. Had this been public back in October, Araiza would have never of been drafted. Now she can go after his rookie bonus/gtd money.
I find it savage that she waited for him to get paid before bringing a civil lawsuit against him. God bless her. I hope Araiza never plays a down in the NFL.
This freaking killed me with laughter.
Yes, I guess running the ball back against an onslaught of vicious defenders is not conducive to self-preservation. Can’t blame him. 🥴
What can the Bills get for Zack Moss? Is a 3rd within the realm of possibility? The way I’m seeing it is that Singletary is a stud and this James Cook kid is going to be a lot like his brother. And I see that this Blackshear kid may be a diamond in the rough..
Ideally I think that a 3rd would be appropriate for Moss, but maybe a 4th from a bad team.. anything less than that and I walk away. He’s a good player though so I think proper compensation is appropriate.
