Penn State scorn versus Michigan State scorn

There will be multiple candlelight vigils.

 

This is how I feel about this, all up and down the sheer scale of it.

And this. It really makes me question the whole situation, and frankly, even the athletes, for their collective silence. No one said anything, even amongst themselves? No one? Between all the athletes? All the parents? All the collegiate/personal coaches? The Karolyis? All of Michigan State? Heck, even any Olympics-specializing journalists?

I'm sorry, but yes, he was just a doctor. There are plenty of great doctors, throughout the country, who haven't repeatedly assaulted hundreds of their patients. Who exactly did this guy have in his back pocket that this could have gone on, with so many, for so long?

To me, the Karolyis could/should be in big trouble, but this kind of feels even bigger/higher than them.

 

YGBFKM.

 

Criminy. And I suppose that explains Paul "Russian Bear" Bryant and the Junction Boys, too?

 

Exactly the point I was going to make as I read poin's posts. I get his thinking, but my brother and I have been through this with our mother's estate. She died over a year ago and we are still getting medical bills and some of them are bullshit.

 

I have been fighting the urge to make a Duggar reference and you go and do this?

 

Not shocked you’d be the clueless one who doesn’t understand it.

 

Oh, c'mon. Seriously?

Is there nothing Russian related that you won't defend?

 

Maybe if we didn't "relate" Hungarians working for a Romanian sports program as "Russian" it wouldn't need to be defended.

 

Hungary was a Soviet bloc country. So was Romania. Looking back at the Olympics, right offhand, the Russians, East Germans, and Bulgarians were notorious for PED programs. I am by far not an expert on Soviet era women's gymnastic training practices, but I don't feel off base with the assumption that they weren't particularly nurturing, or that there might have been PED use involved.

If I'm wrong I'm willing to own that, but taken as a whole there seems to be a substantial history there.

 

Everyone knew the Bear was a closet Commie.
