Honest mistake. Sorry. I gave up on this one. it’s too heavy for a regular thread. Go clonesI've done the same thing more than once. No harm, no foul.
members of the bowling team aren’t generally considered jocks….
Feels like people probably having varying opinions on what a "second chance" is. I don't have teenagers as my oldest kid is a 12 year old boy but trying to put my "parent" hat on.
To me, if it was my son I'd absolutely want him to have a second chance. However, that is meant on a broader life level....not a "lets weasel around legally and make sure you can wrestle ASAP". I would tell him his wrestling days are done until he gets his life in order and that he may never wrestle again while under my roof. There would be an extensive very specific "check list" that couldn't be done over night before I'd begin to consider to do something that I believe is a privilege. There would need to be complete life reformation and repentance. I'd need to see acknowledgement, ownership of the wrongdoing, genuine apoligies, community service, counseling, you name it....
What that kid did was horrific and damaging beyond what I could comprehend. My goal for a second chance would be to get to the point where he can live a productive, fruitful life and be an asset to people and the community. It would likely take years. However, it starts with attitude and it seems the attitude of the individual, the family, and the institution have not changed.

Actually he is, he originally was saying nothing to see her just move along. At least now he admits Blume sexually assaulted his teammate.
LOL, you are the one that can't stand your precious wrestler getting flack on the internet for raping some one. This thread was basically dormant till you jumped in with both feet.
If one of my children did what he did, if they could wrestle would be the least of their concerns.
Yeah I’m having a hard time with the second chance with no consequences. At a minimum, he should be done wrestling and maybe even some juvie. He’ll never have any chance of being a functional part of society if he doesn’t understand his actions have consequences.
So yes, this part of his life should be “ruined.” But he did that to himself. Just like the kid he assaulted. That kids high school life was ruined and I would imagine needs several years of therapy.
I don’t understand any argument where this kid faces no consequences.
It sounds like you’re saying it is as bad as sexual assault which is an unhinged take and speaks to your character. So yes, I think you should be more clear so we all know exactly what you are saying
"Rapist-adjacent" covers that. Like I said, no other way to interpret that beyond you just telling every single other person here they're similar to a rapist. Again, brilliant analysis.
The lack of actual punishment is the craziest part about the whole thing. Dudes out here saying he got a fair shake with the law when he traded forcibly sodomizing someone for a "punishment" of picking up some trash along a highway a few times and, like, being grounded from his iPhone for a week.
I wonder if the victim feels like said sodomizer is rehabilitated after those harsh punishments.
Guess I'll jump in now after making post sharing the tweet that started this whole conversation up again.
The people defending Kade for being able to wrestle on the grounds of Oh everyone should get a 2nd chance at life are you really that stupid? Wrestling and extracurricular activities are a privilege, not a right. Kade got plenty of second chances after the terrible thing he did to another person. He was able to continue to go to the same school. He was able to dodge the legal system and public information release by a plea deal. So don't come at anyone with this "oh he deserves a second chance" BS. The victim in this isn't getting a second chance...they had to move schools. They have to deal with the PTSD from what took place and that is very much real and will be real for the rest of their life.
Then if you want to go a step further with the excuse of "I'm sure you regretted doing stuff in high school too". Yeah I regret giving the sophomores a pinch of
chew after they stole some of our beers and them puking from it before baseball practice. But if in your mind something like that is equal to taking a pencil and forcefully raping someone with it then you should check yourself into a mental hospital for help because it is clear you need it.

No people we’re ******** about some reporter doing his job. That’s when I jumped in.
Putting a sexual predator on a pedestal?
Whether you like it or not, that's what Quinn is doing.
Hs wrestling is massive in this state. Blume is an elite wrestler. He’s going to get coverage. That is just the reality. Harassing these people for covering the sport is a ****** thing to do.
Criticizing them (especially on this website) is harassing them now?
If someone is actually harassing him that’s wrong. But criticizing him for what he covers and how he covers it is not the same as harassing him.
Why are you do surprised/annoyed at this? It was clear you didn’t persuade people yesterday, and you are the one that brought it back up
