I am not defending Lynch at all, but to throw unfounded comments out there is just irresponsible( and not just the people on this board, anyone who is doing it, if you don't know what happened because you weren't there, don't say anything you personally cannot guarantee accuracy).....on a moral level what he did was extremely wrong and i think it's ridiculous that he did it (if he knew about it at the time). The realization is that in the world of professional athletes they can get what they want, and for the most part get away with what they want. Will I now look at him differently? Yes, because I don't have kids but my GF does and I don't want them to think something like this is right and it's accepted. But until the world stops holding professionals in such high regards and gives them every opportunity in the world to get out of any given situation , nothing will change. These athletes have been handed everything once someone realized they had a "gift". It's got to be difficult to automatically change and be a good citizen, when most of your teenage years and early 20's people are willing to throw anything your way because you are talented. Then they sign a contract to make millions of dollars and are expected to change overnight? Our society is setup to enable these athletes and until something causes a major change, it's going to stay the same way.
