Don't know if it was posted but the Feminist Lawyer hand delivered a letter to the Commissioner's office on Friday accusing an NFL player who played last Sunday of raping her client. That left the Bears and Jets off the hook. Yesterday she wrote that she will be watching today to see whether the accused player is allowed to play 2 weeks in a row. The Giants and Redskins and Patriots and Chiefs don't play on Sunday

Falcons (week 3 Thu)
Buccaneers (week 3 thu)
Jets (week 3 mon)
Bears (week 3 mon)
Giants (week 4 thu)
Redskins (week 4 thu)
Patriots (week 4 mon)
Chiefs (week 4 mon)
Browns (week 4 bye)
Seahawks (week 4 bye)
Cardinals (week 4 bye)
Bengals (week 4 bye)
Broncos (week 4 bye)
Rams (week 4 bye)
should all be eliminated if this is true
When I become NFL commissioner, only weeks 7,8,9 will have a bye. Every team will bye on one of those 3 weeks.
It seems it was reported ...
“I will be watching tomorrow to see whether or not the accused player is allowed to play for his team for a second week in a row while rape allegations are pending,” Allred told the Daily News on Saturday.
She sent Goodell a letter Friday, asking whether he knew a rape suspect was allowed to play in a Sept. 21 game. Allred hasn’t named the player or team but noted a “criminal investigation is pending.”
The letter and a press release is for PR and has zippo to do with due process.
I guess if I file a complaint against Gloria Allred she should be barred from practicing law until a "pending investigation" is complete.

employers should replace our judicial system.
And I think it's sad some think our judicial system should replace our personal judgement.
If we are discussing what you think of a person, then personal judgement matters. If we are discussing a crime, then personal judgement has no place. Otherwise the idea of innocent until proven guilty goes out the window.
So players should be suspended before any sort of investigation has even began?
If this works for her, next Wednesday I'm writing a letter to Roger stating that both Foles and McCoy raped Brett (even though I know it was consensual).
Why the fuck go to the NFL at all. She should have gone to the police who have jurisdiction. Filed the complaint and waited. Is not the accused allowed a fair investigation as well as the victim. Now every chick who does a one nighter is going to accuse any player of rape for the $$$$
The NFL needs to tell all of these money grabbers their employees deserve the same due process as any other citizen.
In a written statement, Allred said her office delivered a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell advising them that she represents a young woman who filed a police report Sept. 20 alleging that an NFL player raped her that morning.
Allred did not identify the accused player or his team.
Allred said her office informed the commissioner that police were contacted that morning, and that the alleged perpetrator was contacted by the police, who asked him to come to the station to be interviewed.
“The accused did respond to law enforcement's request and went to the police station, accompanied by a representative of his NFL team,” Allred said. “Thereafter, the accused was then allowed by his team to play the following day.”
Allred has asked the league whether the alleged rape was reported to them, and if the NFL approved of the player participating in the game despite the allegations. Allred also asked Goodell to “clarify the NFL's policy regarding allowing a player to play while serious allegations of criminal wrongdoing are pending with law enforcement.”
Said NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy: “We have no information on this alleged incident other than [Allred’s] letter.”

Because the last thing Gloria Allred cares about is justice. And as I stated having seem first hand women this themselves at athletes the amount of women going after dudes after consensual sex is going to explode now that that bottoms feeders like Allred smell $$$.
Time to go the Charlie Sheen route and only hire a pro. Pay now or pay later.
But the easiest way to forfeit public sympathy and concern is for the feminist equivalent of Reverend Al and Jesse to smell blood in the water. If charges are brought he will not play. If they are not he probably will.
This. What an opportunistic ambulance chasing piece of shit.
Of course, if the complaining woman feels that it is a conspiracy and does not trust the cops, she can always bring a civil suit for battery where she can get a jury trial and have a lower standard of proof in order to win cash rather than put the guy in jail.
All I can say is don't let your son/daughter marry a criminal lawyer. The moral scruples are the first to go.
seeking women. No misogyny on this thread
Only if she's on fire too.
Thinking about it, I really can't remember her ever going to trial. For all the time she spends on the cable talk shows you figure there would be at least one time after appearing in a court room. Not doing exhaustive research means I could be wrong, but it's not an off the wall question.
If this results in charges absolutely, take action against the accused. But unless and until it does, the mere fact that she is using this to do what she usually does - grab headlines - is not reason enough to take action against the player.
Going to trail would mean exhaustive preperation and work. She hasn't been in a courtroom as a practicing lawyer in years. She's a media personality who carved out a niche. And since many "news" shows put piles of shit like her on discussing these types of cases people assume she legit.
While I don't rapists should be playing, I'm not comfortable with penalizing people before due process has spun its wheels.
It's jackholes like her that make it difficult for people with legitimate claims to get anywhere in the legal system.
