I've been reading some of the comments under some of the yahoo articles related to the Peyton manning sexual assault scandal.     That is a surly bunch that refuse to believe Peyton did anything wrong.  

 

  The reactions range from "That woman is just a gold digger,  what she says shouldn't be taken as fact over Peyton and all his teammates".........  to    "People just trying to throw mud on a white qb after Cam lost the SB". 

 

I've become dumber having read through most of the comments....and I wasn't exactly an Einstein to begin with.            Reason I didn't post any links is to help save the IQ of others.

Guy that wrote this did a great job.  NAILED it.

For a week, Newton's sour news conference has received the treatment of the major news event of the day, bigger than Miller, bigger than the Broncos, even though Newton never once raised his voice and did not verbally attack the assembled press -- in a time when Bill Belichick and Gregg Popovich unprofessionally make daily sport out of belittling professional journalists and it's laughed off as curmudgeonly genius.

In a time of Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson, Greg Hardy, Johnny Manziel and Baylor University, Newton being upset that he lost a football game has received far more attention than Manning's involvement in being named in a lawsuitagainst the University of Tennessee alleging the university has fostered a hostile work environment for women. The lawsuit alleges that Manning -- already hounded by HGH allegations this summer -- placed his naked genitals on the face of a female athletic trainer in 1996 while she was examining him for an injury. Manning has denied that he assaulted the trainer, saying instead that he was "mooning" a teammate. And in spite of his inclusion in the lawsuit, the mainstream power machine -- the networks, the NFL itself, the media -- is reluctant or outright unwilling to add Manning to a list that in the past it has been so unworried about naming.

Newton, a week after the Super Bowl in a media that supposedly moves faster than a bullet train, is still the topic the machine seems to want to discuss in all of its paternalistic racial codes of how much Cam will learn from this and whether Cam showed enough contrition. This all occurs while a pending lawsuit discusses Peyton Manning -- representative of the Nationwide jingle, mediocre pizza and, ostensibly, NFL family values -- accused of placing his genitals on the face of a woman as part of a larger action regarding the culture at the University of Tennessee.

 

If a verdict had to be announced today, it almost certainly would conclude that the answer is no, the public, teams, leagues and media do not want to connect these pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. These pieces are not just important individually but explain the reaction to why Peyton Manning is getting a free pass or why Brady can visibly swear on television with no repercussion to his standing; why Brett Favre could race down the sideline after scoring a touchdown with his helmet off and somehow have it not be taunting the other team -- and why a week after the Super Bowl, when game has been won and the Disney floats are back in the garage, Cam Newton is still, as they say today, trending.

Nor, it must be said, have media outlets showed much courage in confronting other truths: That while the Naughright deposition against Manning was just that, a one-sided document explaining her view of what occurred that day in 1996, media routinely carry full news cycles for weeks on often one-sided documents that explain one viewpoint of what occurred in a given incident, with often devastating consequences for people and their reputations. They are called police reports.

 

Good stuff.

Didn't Farve text some woman with the jets a pic of his junk? Isn't that the millennial version of what Manning did?

To answer my question from earlier, yes I was missing something. Although the act might or might not have been college hijinks( I wasn't there so I can't say for sure) but the whole smear campaign against the woman is deplorable. If it was hijinks one would think Manning would have apologized, took his punishment like a man and moved on.

Mannings people clearly learned from watching how Bill Clinton and his people handled every woman who dared claim Bill had raped them.  Call the women whores, sluts or gold diggers and convince a willing press not to ask the wrong questions and you can get away with this kind of thing no matter who you are.

How long til one of them says "that's what happens when you drag a dollar bill through a trailer park"?  It worked for our POTUS so why not a Manning?

I can't tell if you guys are being serious or not about this story. King clearly has an agenda. We all did stupid things in college. Cam included. 

Nothing to see here besides Shaun King begging for attention.

What Peyton actually did is not the major issue for me. It's the length him and his father went to destroy this story. Ruining the life of an innocent person along the way. All of the lying, plotting, and scheming mentioned in those court documents (if true) is truly unbelievable. And judging by the countless testimonies given by his teammates and her esteemed colleagues it seems this story is completely factual.

I really hope 60 minutes or somebody does another piece on this and validates it further. It appears the Mannings are a fraud and their world deserves to come burning down around them.

LOL, please, tell us more, ROCKYTOPVOL. If you read the court data that was included with and referred to in the original article, the 'mooning' story was debunked. Had the Manning's obeyed the confidentiality agreement, none of this would be happening. 

There have been rumors for years that Peyton is gay. I figure their first altercation, which was sealed by the court at the Manning's request was over her catching him fuging or getting fuged by some dude. Would explain why he and his daddy went after her so hard for so long.

Oh come on! I can't be the only one that's ever heard that rumor.

I've never heard that and to bring it up is just irresponsible as that has nothing to do with the story

Why don't you tell me more. Tell me why this should be a story 20 years later. Tell my this chick who got $300,000 for being tea-bagged is relevant now. Understand that I'm not suggesting at all that this is an okay thing for someone to do. Yes, it's unfortunate and nasty, but we all knew about this years and years ago. 

King is trying to benefit off of the news momentum Peyton has established this week. After somewhat participating in the Super Bowl for the team that won (I refuse to say he won the Super Bowl) talks of his retirement are swirling. Hey! I know!! Let's rehash a very old story to get tons of hits! It's gross!

She wasn't just 'some chick who got $300,000 for being tea-bagged.' She was a professional trainer that was well regarded and she was assaulted by a spoiled dickhead. Your wording makes her sound like she was some prostitute who took money for a degrading act. She won two lawsuits against UT and the Mannings, providing eyewitnesses that refute the things that UT and the Manning's accused her of. They even violated a gag order to further smear her after she'd quietly moved on to a job out of the SEC. Why? Why would someone do that? 

I don't equate sitting on someone's face with rape, but it's obvious from the court transcripts that it was done maliciously, to bully this lady. The story could have ended with the $300,000 pay out, but the Manning's wouldn't let it. That's a scumbag move. I hope it catches up to them in some meaningful way. 

I could completely understand defending Manning if he won either case, or if he'd honored the gag order and she had been the one to break it, but that's not what happened. People defending him now simply because it's an 'old story' is ridiculous.
