    Alright, let me preface all this by saying that I believe no respectable person would lose their cool like this and, if you did, it should haunt your conscience pretty much forever. And regardless of society's shifting stance on the matter (and whether it's right or wrong), I personally treat women different than men in many circumstances. But for the sake of playing Devil's Advocate and holding a mirror up to our words, I'll say:

    Easy with the hyperbole. It [shouldn't be] so black-and-white in today's world. What he said is in line with what many women's rights activists would say.

    I noticed the phrase you elected to use here. Is that truly how broadly it should be applied? So if it were a let's say 5'6" 150 lb guy who took the first swing at this, I don't know, 6'0" 200 lb guy, the bigger guy should still just take it on the chin? Also curious - what if this kid was raised in a home where his father beat his mother? That doesn't mean that hitting is suddenly the right way to solve arguments, but it could mean that it's the only way he's ever seen it done.  So is he crazy and worthless then, or does it mean he needs better mentoring? Again, mentoring shouldn't necessarily mean a full ride scholarship, but maybe the time and effort put into punishing him should be appropriate but minimal and the time and effort put into making him better should be great. 

    there is a comedian I like who actually addresses this specific statement. He says, "so let's say your wife is drowning your three kids when you get home. She's already got one and two when you get there and she's starting on number three. Could you give her a little smack then?" Dark, I know, but the point, again, is that it's not so black-and-white as we commonly make it seem on social media. And yeah, I am astounded that this occurrence didn'the result in a posse being formed, considering it happened in Oklahoma.

    I hope life brings him the punishment he deserves (but he also learns to be a better person) and I hope she quickly finds peace and a happy life. Again, I just wanted to point out that we watched sixty seconds of video, deemed him "evil", her "innocent", and silently agreed to chastise anyone who spoke a remotely different narrative.  That is a sillily simplistic approach to an incredibly complex world.  Just my two (or so) cents. 

    I agree with this.

    For rape, and I knew without a doubt they were guilty?!?  I absolutely would, and I would testify against them in court.  I would still love them, but there is no way I would cover up something like that.

    Ok I don't buy that, you would be actively putting your own blood through worse than what they have done (Prison isn't a joke. Make sure to tell your kid not to drop the soap for the next 20 years, along with being in there with those type of crimes especially if it's against a women or child might as well buy a casket because the kid you would have known for sure would be all but gone.) I doubt anyone on this board will have to go through something like this or has been through something like this so to just say "I would testify in court" is ridiculous. I understand why briles did what he did. In not agreeing with it but I'm Also not going to scorn him either. Good example of this type of situation although not exact is Jon benet in Colorado.

    I'll say it yet again. There have been some dumb posts on here in the past. VERY DUMB. But this one takes the cake. You don't look the other way to protect rapists. I would turn a family member in for rape without a 2nd thought. If this was a joke it was a shitty one. If it was serious then I wish you would start supporting another team.

    Not a joke I would never actively have my child go to prison. Regardless of what they have done. If it's like an uncle I never see, sure but they're not really family in the sense of what I'm getting at. As a coach you establish relationships with your players and have a strong bond with them much like father and son. I'm not saying what the players did wasn't wrong. It's just not easy in my mind to sit here and judge this guy for trying to protect what he sees as his family. Also knocking his actually kid who to the best of my knowledge hasn't been named in any of the investigations is just not cool.
