    Do you not want teachers and coaches looking out for your young son or daughter while they're in college, even if they are 18, 19, or 20? That's a weird argument, IMO. In fact, it sounds morally bankrupt. It's almost as if you are blaming the victims.

    I wish there was a way to get you on TV with that argument.

    The accusers claim he knew, your info/source is outdated.

    According to Bluesguy, Jim Jordan was just a kid, and that made it totally appropriate for him to shower and sauna in the nude with these guys, regardless of the fact that he was paid to be their coach, and the fact that he was there for 8 long years.

    You'd probably have a different attitude if it happened to your child, adult or not. I certainly hope so.

    All of whom, mind you, call the incidents a running joke! My take on this: some of the team members were maliciously gossiping about the 'gay' doctor and making him the brunt of the jokes. I'm beginning to wonder if these 'outcry' accusers weren't in fact the abusers.

    By all accounts the jockular humor they all claim was rampant in the locker room was pointed at Dr. Strauss, the gay guy.

    The anonymous alleged victim said it was common knowledge that Strauss “used to take showers with the team even though he didn’t do any workouts, and everybody used to snicker about how you go into his office for a sore shoulder and he tells you to take your pants down.”

    Range told the Post. “Everybody joked about it and talked about it all the time.”

    What happened? A gay guy showered in the communal bathing area?

    What happened?

    Seriously! What's the harm being alleged here? That a doctor durring a physical exam asked the patient to pull his shorts down?

    Give me something, anything.

    Knew what, that the Doctor might have been gay? No where in the accusations is there any claim at all that Dr. Strauss assaulted anyone, only that the accusers felt uncomfortable around a gay doctor. That's it bro, it's all you've got.

    Did you forget about the nurse who was also a witness to the abuse, or how Hellickson tried to get the university to move the facility to a private facility? I'm sure he didn't do that because of all the funny "haha" jokes.

    Strauss allegedly preyed on male students during physicals, groping them to the point of making them ejaculate, according to one nurse who witnessed it and recounted the story in a video produced by alleged victims and obtained by POLITICO.

    Apparently you think sexual abuse is funny. You are the reason victims don't come forward to report sexual abuse.

    Dunyasha Yetts, who wrestled at Ohio State in 1993 and 1994, said he and others told Jordan about Strauss.

    “I remember I had a thumb injury and went into Strauss’ office and he started pulling down my wrestling shorts,” he said. “I’m like, what the f--- are you doing? And I went out and told Russ and Jim what happened. I was not having it. They went in and talked to Strauss.”

    [snip]

    “I love Jimmy to death,” the ex-wrestler said. “It was a head-scratcher to me why he would say he didn’t know anything. Doc used to take showers with the team even though he didn’t do any workouts, and everybody used to snicker about how you go into his office for a sore shoulder and he tells you to take your pants down.”

    Exactly. To even argue that their was sexual abuse involving multiple Div 1 college wrestlers multiple times is completely ridiculous. But that is what the illiberal left is claiming to be true. Hilarious.

    One more time.

    You're saying this guy,

    [​IMG]
    Dunyasha Yetts

    ran to mommy screaming "that bad man tried to touch my no-no place!", when this guy,

    [​IMG]
    Dr Richard Strauss aka Bad Man

    allegedly attempted to adjust Division 1 OSU wrestler Yetts' shorts during a physical exam for immoral purposes?

    Is this what you are really saying? Really?

    No, I think that he or she was serious, based on previous brilliant deductions by the Trump base.

    That’s how the smear machine works. The details and common sense part of the stories are ignored.
