[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is wild. Were you guys this mad when Colton Underwood was allowed to stay on Traitors and Steffon Diggs was allowed to play in the Super Bowl? [/quote]

First, no, I was not "this mad when Colton Underwood was allowed to stay on Traitors" because I don't even know what that is.

[b]As far as Steffon Diggs, he was playing ball, he wasn't literally making money off of cameras being on him literally because of an inability to self regulate. [/b][/quote]
Got it, so you're cool with it when a man is allowed to continue his career after domestic assault convictions. It's only a woman who needs to be "held accountable." [/quote]

You are stupidly setting up a false dichotomy.

Of course Steffon Diggs should be held accountable (and I'll point out here that he got into a fight with his chef, not a romantic partner while in the room with a toddler). Hopefully he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But the Super Bowl is not reality tv -- it isn't a show like SLOMW specifically created to showcase and reward the emotional lability and violent inclinations of it's main cast member, nor is it a show like The Bachelorette specifically created to find a new romantic partner for someone who has a clear and documented track record of violently abusing at least one prior partner, as well as a small child.

Taylor was prosecuted to the full extent of the law. She pled guilty, was convicted, and sentenced to a couple years of probation.

I didn't even know she was The Bachelorette or that she had a history of DV until yesterday. I still couldn't pick her out of a lineup.

But it's telling that you have double standards for women and men convicted of domestic abuse. [/quote]
