    This is an inappropriately light post for a horrible topic, but any mention of Karolyi always reminds me of the Simpsons character who was an obvious parody of him, the guy "so tough, he defected INTO East Germany,:

    That’s pretty shitty of you ... at least one of the violated gymnasts said she feels sorry for Nassar. I suppose you (and others) have nothing but scorn for her, too?

    The coach required his athletes to see this doctor, and this doctor only. They didn't want to upset the coach.

    Look at it this way. They, and their parents, essentially are giving up their entire lives in order to pursue an Olympic gold medal, and they don't want to upset the two people who can decide on a whim to end their dream.

    I'd be OK if the entire athletics department was shuttered over this case.

    CNN has the sentencing live.

    MSNBC is talking Davos.

    Fox Newz has General Keane to drum up war with North Korea.

    Same here.

    Give it the death penalty, allow all athletes either to remain on scholarship or transfer without penalty. Any other school that protests, you tell them they are on the side of child molesters.

    The trustee Ferguson's quotes are music to the ears of the attorneys waiting to file civil cases.

    Prosecutor just credited journalism for getting Nassar off the streets.
