I don't know if it'll be a mistrial, but I don't see a bad outcome for Rose at this point. And I certainly don't see any criminal charges being filed.
Rose still did a bad thing IMO. Criminal charges or not it doesnt mean he is this great guy. Thankfully he is only here a year. Im excited about jennnings possibly being here a few years like he said he wanted to
I'm not bothered about sex lives of players, but there's no way I could root for a rapist- outcome of the trial is important to me. How awkward will it be as a knick fan following this team if he is found guilty?
A rapist who forces a woman or takes advantage of her while she is incapacitated is obviously someone who is impossible to root for.
But in this case there is a lot of gray area, and it is possible to see why Rose does not feel he did anything wrong.
And juries make mistakes too, one way or the other, so the decision on whether to root for a player will be taken based on facts and each individual's interpretation of these facts.
i never accused him of rape or that he is guilty of criminal charges. HOWEVER i still feel his actions werent right at all. I mean he has had some issues in his past as well. Im just not a big fan of his. Talent wise he used to be a bigtime offensive player and mvp i would never deny that
he isn't a high character person. too much history of sleaze and the knicks need high character employees.
But it's ok for the Presidential nominee to be a rapist and a sleaze ball. If you compare Rose to Trump, Rose looks like an angel. Welcome to the United States of American, where some lives matter and others don't. I'm not poking at anybody in this thread, or anybody thats connected to my reply statement (this is not a personal attack at anybody in here).....I'm just tired of this ugly system we live in, where money and success dominates all rules / standards the average person has to follow. There is a serious problem and will always be a serious problem, as long as we are slaved to money and success....But don't mind me, I'm just blowing off steam.....
As for Rose, I don't see why having sex with a woman who sent out the invitation is a bad thing (assuming these are the facts). But if this is a fact, not sure how anybody could be mad at Rose. Now if it was a dude he had sex with, then it would be hard for me to root for him (but again thats my own personal preference and eventually I would quickly get over it). If any good looking woman gives a STRAIGHT man an invitation to engage in sex, then 99% of all STRAIGHT men would be guilty of being a sleaze balls.....As Trump implied, when you are a celebrity, you don't abide by the same rules and standards as the average person (knick fan).....Rose is in the same Trump category, as far as having money and being a celebrity. Remove the jealousy or racism, and you will see Rose is just like all the other celebs who continue to squeeze through the justice system un-phased. As the old saying goes, Don't hate the player, hate the game!
Move on!
