Slut shaming in the Buffalo News?

Chill, Dick.

You're on the side of the angels here. The Buffalo News ran with the dang story, so your argument must have some legs.

 

Dick I don't know your background, but there's not a responsible news organization in the world that would get behind these kinds of shady practices. You'd open yourself and the news organization up to lawsuits, not to mention public backlash.

Assuming the flirtatious woman is the accuser? Just because?

Truth and responsibility are important in journalism.

 

Regardless, this post warrants a better response than DW received because these types of prosecution leaks represent a genuine problem -- one that typically gets ignored within journalism because it would be bad for business to call the practice into question.

 

No really, what part of the description in the story makes her a whore, in your opinion? To me it sounded like pretty common behavior from two people interacting at a bar or a nightclub.

You used the word, not the bar owner or the reporters. So explain it to me like the naive child I supposedly am.

 

The bar owner was trying to slut shame the woman and protect an important celebrity patron. His agenda was obvious.

It's good reading.

 

My lord.

 

I didn't know there was such a crossover between Blackhawks fans and Patriots fans.

 

Hey, Odin Lloyd got in the car with Hernandez. He clearly wanted to die.

 

Yes.

 

Good reading at Deadspin from back in 2012, too.

Multiple people writing in independently that Kane was kicked out of a fraternity party for choking a woman who rejected his advances. I guess because the sourcing is an issue, not much has ever been made of it. But it certainly shows a penchant for violence against women, and pretty ominously foreshadows this.

In fact, the Buffalo News story can almost be seen as incriminating. The Madison incident indicated that, after a certain amount of interest is shown, Kane thinks he's entitled to something.

 

Now AP is cranking up the super solid reporting:

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A person familiar with the police investigation of Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane tells The Associated Press that it involves something that happened between the player and a woman in her 20s.

Whoa.
