Big Turk Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 That's what happens when tren, test and other substances are used with guys who are already aggressive by nature
FireChan Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Hid from who? The media or the cops? Edited October 11, 2014 by FireChan
Jared Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I saw an article a week or two ago showing that NFL arrests for domestic violence were lower than the general population. The author was trying to claim "see, players aren't bad!" All I thought was "or the league covers it up better than regular people."

The author was trying to claim "see, players aren't bad!" All I thought was "or the league covers it up better than regular people." Sorry, you'll have to explain...the league has covered up public records? Arrests are not something easily hidden, I think. Are the media in on this too?
FireChan Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) It appears both. Really? I read, "But on Thursday he made a startling charge that NFL teams failed to take action against players in “hundreds and hundreds” of domestic violence cases during his three decades in the league." Is failing to suspend players covering it up? Why would they publicize negative PR? I don't see any claims towards hindering police investigations or helping players evade arrest/prosecution. This article sounds like a lot of phooey from a disgruntled GM who is out of work. Edited October 12, 2014 by FireChan

This article sounds like a lot of phooey from a disgruntled GM who is out of work. Okaaay... He backpedaled a day later. Sounds like @ first he was speaking from his heart and clearing his conscience, IMO. EII loves him a conspiracy. Not me. The Chicago Trib. It is just a report.
FireChan Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 EII loves him a conspiracy. In fairness, when I just read the headline, I thought, "that figures." Then I read it and thought about it, and it really made no sense to me. May as well make a claim that Malaysian Air is covering up plane crashes because they aren't advertising it.

Why am I getting guff for it? Or it seems I am. It was the Trib's headline as told by Angelo. All I am doing is linking it and wondering what people think.

Malazan Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 sounds more like ex-gm jerry angelo didn't want people to forget he exists

JC2002 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 The league cant cover up anything. Do people understand how the justice system works in case of domestic violence ? All Angelo can really claim is he dismissed or ignored incidents that reached him but half the time one of the parties does not press any charges or refuses to press any charges .

Just think about it for two seconds. The NFL doesn't have a domestic violence problem. The media has a need for sensationalizing stories problem.

Just think about it for two seconds. The NFL doesn't have a domestic violence problem. The media has a need for sensationalizing stories problem. That's the media these days, anything for a buck(or a click?). Love how the Justice system isn't getting flak for dropping charges, and letting these "bad, bad people" walk away (I know they have to sometimes), or it just takes so long with the justice system to pronounce guilt, so people want a private organization to enforce justice in their own way. That's fantastic. Why bother having a justice system? If someone (insert crime here), can I track them down and tell their boss to fire them, or else I am going to protest outside their workplace, because obviously they are a bad company who employ criminals? Also said Boss should resign. Edited October 12, 2014 by What a Tuel
johnwalter Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 this would be a huge deal if true, the fact that this didn't get a swarm of media attention makes me wonder about its legitimacy.

All I am doing is linking it and wondering what people think. I'm not sure that I'm "guffing" you, but, you decided to what title to put on the thread. You didn't put a "?" after it or give any indication that you disagree w it. When asked "Hid from who?" your response was the police and the media. I just don't see that as a possibility.
