False. At age 24, I had a 20 year old in my organization report a sexual assault not unlike the Ohio State case to me. I didn’t dismiss it as locker room talk. Instead, I went to my boss and we took action to have the offender removed from contact with the accuser immediately. The same day. Then we followed up with administrative and legal action. Jordan chose a different course of action. He’s not fit to lead and should resign. |
Physical strength is not the only thing that matters in a situation of abuse. Mental strength also does. When you have someone in a position of power over you, like an adult doctor and student patients, then it's not just a matter of "snapping" him in half if he does something inappropriate. It's hard for most people to speak up against authority. It's disgusting that you all are claiming 5 people are lying and your excuse is they should have fought their way out of it. |
Wrestlers are mentally tough. They are hardly shrinking violets. Plus they run their hands all over other men each and every day in practice. This is a money grab class action lawsuit scheme . |
And in the showers and doctors office too. Jordan was and is a lying coward. |
They most certainly can. A 125 lb big ten wrestler can take down and literally anihilate much larger men not trained in fighting. |
Stop the damn victim blaming! Jordan knew and it was his duty to report. He is a POS who condoned what was going on. |
OSU is the entity that hired a lawyer firm to investigate. Get a clue. |
It's not a question of physical ability. The doctor was an authority figure whose word could influence whether you got to wrestle or not. If he blackballed you, your scholarship (if any) would be at risk. What do you think would happen if one of these kids punched the doctor? They would be on the next bus home. |
125 lbs LOL. The average American 20 year old male is 195 lbs and 5’9. American 15 year olds average 145 lbs. A male weighing in at 125 is going to be around 5’3.” That’s too small to participate in any real sport, so they wrestle. Sexual predators seem to be attracted to the sport. All these stories are from this year and there are lots more. The sport seems to tolerate sexual assault at a large scale. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bergen-catholic-high-school-lawsuit-wrestling-coaches-sexual-abuse-new-jersey/ https://www.myajc.com/news/local/georgia-mother-struggle-unmask-beloved-coach-predator/NB1KHStPs6W557ZpeHmTjJ/ http://katu.com/news/local/jury-finds-former-astoria-wrestling-coach-guilty-of-sex-crimes-gary-salvador-medina https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/sports/wp/2018/04/17/in-wake-of-olympic-sex-abuse-scandals-usa-wrestling-toughens-up-on-the-media/?utm_term=.48593d4f2005 https://www.eastcobbnews.com/former-pope-wrestling-coach-sentenced-pa-sexual-abuse-boys/ https://www.cvbugle.com/news/2018/apr/30/local-wrestling-coach-sought-alleged-sex-crime/ |
Still not understanding the power dynamic that permits sexual assault?. Is not about physical strength. It’s true the Big 10 or 11 or 13 or whatever it’s is does seems to have more problems than other conferences. Fortunately, most Americans do understand the power dynamic, even if Jim Jordan claims not to. |
Even if he were a 22 year old college graduate, he knows better. Why is it that 15 year old AA males are called thugs, byt 22 year old white college graduates are 'young men?" I mean, even Jared Kushner was recently referred to as a kid, as it pertained to his alleged crimes. When I was 22 and fresh out of college, I knew better. |
I guess you missed his interview on FOX last night where he admitted he knew but ignored it. And often times, victims of abuse go on to abuse alochol and have issues because of the trauma they received. So you are scapegoating a victim for something that is a likely a direct result of the issues at hand. |
Knew better? WTH are you talking about? If he didn’t KNOW about the alleged abuse, how could he “know better?” |
Blame the victim. I guess he was asking for it because he was wearing a singlet. ![]() |
You must have watched a different interview. |
