Not sports related, but MSU's week is getting even worse because Richard Spencer got them to let him speak and cover security costs. They gave him the first day of spring break.

I've been a juror on a court case involving sexual assault on a child, and hearing the victims statement read out by the prosecution lawyer was one of the most awful, emotional things I've ever experienced and I don't wish to experience it again. I genuinely feel for everyone except the scumbag who did this, because listening to each victim is going to be so draining for everyone

I graduated, but I didn't make it. Because of emotional stuff related to the job. The profession is a meat grinder, and I didn't even work with kids once I started working for actual money (as opposed to placement, where I did work with kids but nothing overly hosed up happened).

The police officer and social worker who were assigned the case were actually in tears when it was read out & I was just about holding it together. Without going too much into the details, all of us on the jury actually asked and were allowed to exit the court through the backdoor as the defendant's family were waiting outside, then we all went down the pub. We barely spoke, but the only thing we could agree on was that the sentence was almost painfully low for the crime, and that with hindsight we should have convicted him on all three counts and not just one. But still, hearing what I did over those four days was more than enough

Is there going to be a Gymnastics Abuse/Nasser thread? This is bigger than the Sandusky poo poo and it's loving disgusting that so, so many people knew poo poo was going on and either covered it up or didn't care.

Raisman did not mince words, telling her abuser that he is “pathetic to think that anyone would have sympathy for you.” She told Nassar that she and the other athletes he abused “will use our voices to make sure you get what you deserve: A life of suffering spent replaying the words delivered by this powerful army of survivors.” axeil fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Jan 19, 2018 |

Jesus christ, there's still athletes at the Karolyi ranch ? I thought it was shut down but Raisman's testimony said otherwise. And reminder for those who don't know: parents aren't allowed at the olympic training camps or competition hotels

There were athletes at the ranch at the time USA Gymnastics announced it was cutting ties with the Karolyis. That was Raisman's point: USAG made a huge show of announcing that it was done with the Karolyis, yet at that very moment there were still athletes there.

The last girl to see/be assaulted by Nassar (she was a young teen, not a student) is still getting medical bills from MSU. That university is inept in literally every way possible. https://twitter.com/danwetzel/status/955468027813822465

It's bullshit to see the wagons being circled around Marta Karolyi, Kerry Perry (and Steve Penny) and Lou Anna Simon. At least some of the board of directors for USA Gymnastics stepped down but every loving one of these people knew, are culpable, and should be going to jail too.

Yeah I want to take a real hard line here but i'm more than happy to say 'should have known.'
