They did, they handled this the right way. I honestly think that this team and this organization would have loved to trash Matt Araiza in a more public way, but politics are politics.

Really? Where did you hear that?

I think they intended on moving on from Haack regardless of Araiza.

I think not. I think it’s clear that this team and this locker room hates MA.

And above all, winning it with class.

I’m annoyed by these comments because I feel like you haven’t been following this as closely as some people have.

Good riddance.

I lost count at page 67 of last night. Just sayin’.

How many pages of this thread have you read exactly?

I commend you for your respect for women. I do not give a hoot if Araiza is the next Moorman, get him out of here. The classiest thing this franchise can do is dump him and throw him under the bus publicly.

I agree. They were going to boot Hack regardless of the situation. Doubt anyone will notice the difference.

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.

@Gene1973 Yeah, I found that odd too.

Whom would most likely fit the latter role? 17 year old HS girl or 21 year old College football star?

This would not surprise me. I would highly question McD/Beane’s character if they let this slide. Do the right thing, cut him.

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.

Why would you take the word of the accused over said victim when the accused demonstrated unethical and unquestionably immoral behavior to begin with?

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.

Innocent until proven guilty indeed. But should we trust the innocence of a man who knowingly gave a woman an STD?

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.

Not at all. I trust Beane/McD here, no questions asked.

Araiza was not an NFL player at that point so there was zero room for financial gain, so why go to the police?

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.
