Not sure how many examples of people get either wrongly or at minimum questionably accused of serious sexual crimes have to happen until people start to take a deep breath before burning someone at the stake.
Random people on the internet almost never know all of the facts and details that are so important to the actual truth. But what surprises me is the willingness of people with a voice on the topic, be it journalists, executives, law enforcement, college discipline boards, etc that will continue to push forward while staring exculpatory information directly in the face. In some instances its clearly bc they value clicks over truth. But what the hell is the reason for the others? Afraid if they go against the cultural pressure there will be backlash?? I find it insane that ANY individual could knowingly allow someone else's life to be completely tarnished when knowing the "story" is complete BS. |

But I cynically understand that side bc it's exhibit A of what we call journalism these days. Which is a sad truth that I wish WASN'T the case but whatever. The thing I can't understand is how MLB, lawyers involved, team executives and the like can just freaking go along with it all while having much more information than the general public who is only informed by these biased writers and their narratives. In this case, all of the above clearly had much more information and Trevor's side of the story as well. And they just let this guys entire career get shit on for years. I know Bauer has a reputation to be an asshole, and I never was a fan, but FFS someone has to care about just doing what is right in situations like these. The UVA rape hoax was almost a decade ago and this type of shit still happens. |

The media absolutely hammered Bauer when he was initially accused so they're going to report it in the light most favorable to their predetermined outcome. It's really ridiculous. |

I think if I were a rich athlete and not married, all my sex would be done with high end escorts and formal contracts.

I am in no way at all a Trevor Bauer apologist, but this whole story from day one absolutely stunk to high heaven.
This woman should be getting an earful from every woman who has ever suffered through abuse, along with any organization representing victim's rights. I have so many questions, but off the top of my head, I'd like to know just how she managed to get those bruises and injuries. It is documented that she went to the ER after their liasion and according to reports did in fact have injuries that required treatment. Who did that to her if not Trevor? Did she pull a "Fight Club" and do it herself? This really is just such a ****ed up situtation. The Dodgers threw him under the bus, his teammates threw him under the bus, and MLB threw him under the bus. All because he's an unlikable dork who got laid? His career is likely over. He'll never get that time back. And he'll never get the money back, or get paid like that ever again. |

Women who do this shit should be sentenced to whatever the max sentence would've been for the person they falsely accused.

Dude's either gonna have to keep his dick on the shelf for a very long time, or switch exclusively to whores, because while it's looking more and more that he's likely totally innocent from all these awful allegations, he clearly makes incredibly poor choices on who to stick his prick in.
