This is spot on and why I'm confused about the outrage. The NFL players' situations are totally different. If video/text evidence came out regarding Solo I have no doubt she'd be suspended. However, is she not innocent until proven guilty? How would you feel if you were charged with a crime you didn't commit and the place you worked for fired you before you had your day in court? And then later you were acquitted? Not totally sure about the legality but I think that's grounds for a lawsuit. How would it look if they suspended Solo and she was later found innocent charges? That's a PR/legal mess they'll want to avoid I'm sure.
