A lot of accusations are thrown at players and there's nothing wrong with waiting for the all of the facts to come out before you make up your mind. If Pats stance was 'wait and see' and didn't condemn him until the video surfaced, then so what?
Remember the Duke Lacross team?
Jerome Bettis was accused of raping a girl during training camp at the end of his career. Turned out to be total BS.
How about Ickey Woods and half of your last Bengal team to win a playoff game being accused of gang raping a girl in Seattle in the 90s? Did you condemn Ickey then and almost 1/2 the team back then? Or did you think that she deserved it because of gender equality?

I believe everyone or close to everyone accused was gone within two years.
