True, but you did say he should not play because he was accused of a crime.
We shall see who comes over well and who does not. Odds are, everyone loses here.
Yes, I think the athletic department - not a judge - should be able to choose who represents their program. That was literally never even remotely controversial, not even a little, until it affected our best basketball player. If a guy on our team is arrested for murder I think the AD should be able to suspend him from the team.
As we’ve seen here, the people who have consistently insisted they know the truth despite objectively having no way to know are the ones who are going to (and already do) look terrible.
Theres not really a way the people who have been saying “we don’t have nearly enough information to know, the evidence is totally opaque to us, don’t rush to judgment because of the basketball team he plays for, don’t attack the accuser who you know nothing about” are going to come out of this looking bad.
