I do appreciate you were honest with that thought. I have a feeling a lot of fans of the 8 players will keep moving goalposts.

My goalposts are absolutely clear and have not moved an inch. Rapists should be punished by the law. People who merely associated with persons later discovered to be rapists should not be punished by public shaming and the loss of their careers.

You're pretty much just saying that you don't care who the 8 are and what they are alleged to have done because there won't be a criminal charge so keep them all on the teams. That's fine, I disagree.

Whom are you responding to with this?
In case it was me:
I'm saying that if the 8 did what they are alleged to have done, they should be punished by due process of law, not by us. If the victim is satisfied to keep it on the level of a civil complaint and accept damages instead, that's her choice and we have no right to demand further punishment. Still less do we have any right to punish everyone who
might have been involved.
None of this has anything to do with the despicable accusation you made in the last passage I quoted above.
