The journalism in politics and sports is no loner trustworthy, it is biased at every turn so I don't trust any of them.
My point is we will never win over the media. Case in point, The Raiders draft a 1st round corner accused of raping a woman. Steve Wyche gives a warm fuzzy article about how the Raiders fully vetted the incident and know he is innocent. He even stated they interviewed people not only just in favor of Conley, but friends and relatives of the woman. I call BS on part 2 as no way those people are going to side with Conley within a month of the incident.
Then the Bengals draft Mixon and the claws come out. I know we had some incidents over a decade ago with Chris Henry and recent with Jones, but overall this team has been fairly clean when compared to others. Let's take the Steelers who have a QB accused multiple times of sexual assault (but crickets since he is a star and and Steeler), A WR who gets suspended for drugs (Holmes), A start RB who gets suspended for drugs (Bell), a WR who gets suspended not once, but 2 times for drugs (Bryant).
But, the Bengals will always be the criminals and teams like the Steelers will always be protected by the NFL and the media. So, I say this...............SCREW THEM, I don't care about the media, I don't care about other fans (in fact, I don't respect or like most fans of other teams).
I agree that the media is biased, however the differences between Conley and Mixon are important to address.
1. Conley has been ACCUSED of and not proven to be a rapist. An accusation is not enough to be a deciding factor of whether a person should or shouldn't be supported.
2. We don't know all the details of why Mixon hit Molitor, what we do know is that Mixon DID follow Molitor into the cafe, Molitor DID hit Mixon, and Mixon DID hit her back and casually walk out of the cafe.
The real issue is the fans giving Mixon a pass by blaming Molitor as a racist and for hitting him first. Instead of just admitting that they don't care if Mixon was a murderer as long as he can play and can help the team win games. They ignore the claims of sexual harassment, and embrace his side. We all know if not for the talent, people would be screaming for him to be in prison, instead, they rationalize it and excuse it. The truth is they don't care how they win, they just want to win.
