Agreed.  I have a lot of experience in criminal law but want to wait until further information is developed to comment on the case.  It seems to me that this thread has gone too far across the no politics, just focus on Stanford sports line and should be shut down.  Maybe we can try again with a true focus on the Richard Sherman case after more facts are out.  

I just saw a tweet that seems appropriate to the type of thing that happens in too many online disputes:  "Nice opinion you got there.  Be a shame if I reduced it to its worst possible interpretation, ignored all complexity, removed all nuance, ran it through my tribal value system, then performatively presented my outraged response."  We don't need that here.  

Cheers,
Pete F.
