Dan bringing back his classic takes again today. Pedo talk and the Marlins.
my mom wasn't coming into the room with me at the doctor after i turned 13/14 (maybe even 12), she never asked if i was being touched inappropriately because the reason i was there wouldn't involve a reason to touch me inappropriately. she's not wrong to have not asked, most people just wouldn't even think about it. those girls are breaking their bodies, so most parents are thinking of the physical rehab a dr is doing, they wouldn't even conceive of him being in or near their vagina. now couple this with the fact that he's treating college kids and those in training, people who live away from their parents, and the fact that many victims of sexual assault don't report it, it makes sense that there were only a handful of parents who knew/complained prior to the whole exposal.
STFUOkay, one thing I wanna make clear; I do not blame one parent for their child being assaulted...I have a hard time reconciling them being blameless with the number to 160.
I understand some went to the cops and were ignored. Cool.
But, the man today had THREE DAUGHTERS.
What the fukk?
I do not, repeat, do not give a pass not talking to your kids about being that close to adults.
But, you telling me they weren't talking to one another? You telling me they didn't seem--even one--miserable while training?
My final verdict on this is these parents were too thirst for fame and glory and pressured the shyt outta the kids to stay in line.
I read they were also verbally and physically abusive Károlyi Ranch.

So, I totally believed they weren't telling their parents on their own. But, I do not believe all this parents had healthy aspirations for their kids, putting them in the Olympic cabin, leaving them there and not finding about this earlier.
I'm sorry. You can only be so naive for the safety of your kids.
This. Dan said people have accused him of defending pedophiles so he had to see that online because we know Foxworth, Stu and alt-right Mike are kissing his ass. They probably call his comments brave during commercial breaks. If they were capable of calling him out on this topic they would have done it weeks ago. Foxworth and Stu were helping translate his pedophile thoughts and what he really meant to say Friday.Dan was happy as hell that that father rushed the stand, gave him another opportunity to talk about it again and re-hash his same tired argument. For someone who claims that they are cut off from the world and hasn't been paying attention to social media, it's interesting that he seen that shyt soon as it was posted to twitter...

This. Foxworth has kids too and they are even younger than Stu's kids so I don't know why one of them cant just pull rank on the topic and shut LeBatard up just like Dan lets women on the show pull rank on any sexual assault/harassment topic and he doesn't disagree.Stu has 2 teenage daughters but he rides for Dan and won't take the "if it were my kids" approach.
He could dead the whole thing but is holding back
Dude broke the law and is a Doctor
Why do they let Dan keep bringing this shyt up
Fukk now he got me talking about it
There's so many layers you are missing. For a lot of those little girls the experience is traumatic. Hell even grown women who get raped completely lock it away and not talk about it. On top of that some may not even realize just how inappropriate the touching was depending on how far he went with them. Plus they were likely threatened that if they told anybody even their parents that they would be kicked out of the program.
I don't blame the parents at all for not knowing. A lot of those young women want the Olympics so bad I could see them not wanting to fukk that up at all and hiding what happened. It's just careless to assume parents were compliant with that behavior.
No disrespect but your parents have done you a disservice if they haven't had the discussion w/ you about inappropriate touching in any situation where someone needs to physically touch you.my mom wasn't coming into the room with me at the doctor after i turned 13/14 (maybe even 12), she never asked if i was being touched inappropriately because the reason i was there wouldn't involve a reason to touch me inappropriately. she's not wrong to have not asked, most people just wouldn't even think about it. those girls are breaking their bodies, so most parents are thinking of the physical rehab a dr is doing, they wouldn't even conceive of him being in or near their vagina. now couple this with the fact that he's treating college kids and those in training, people who live away from their parents, and the fact that many victims of sexual assault don't report it, it makes sense that there were only a handful of parents who knew/complained prior to the whole exposal.
My parents did just fine in raising me to be aware of inappropriate behavior. By age 12/13 you understand who your child is and by then my parents had both educated me on what is an inappropriate and they knew I also wasn't the weak, defenseless, scared of adults type - they had seen how I handled people stepping to me crazy in plenty of situations.No disrespect but your parents have done you a disservice if they haven't had the discussion w/ you about inappropriate touching in any situation where someone needs to physically touch you.
Fair enough. But then your comment was irrelevant to the subject.My parents did just fine in raising me to be aware of inappropriate behavior.

I didn't say how parents should react when the kids are away, I said I completely understand how they wouldn't think that something so crazy could be happening with staff. Most people have a somewhat optimistic view of and trust in others, especially schools, coaches, doctors, etc. and simply don't think about people being capable of such deviance - not people "they know"Fair enough. But then your comment was irrelevant to the subject.
And going back reading your post you kinda contridict yourself to a degree and I completely disagree w/ how the parents should react when away from their kids. I would do the opposite of what you are stating.
Understand what you're tryna say but I completly disagree. So we can agree to disagree.I didn't say how parents should react when the kids are away, I said I completely understand how they wouldn't think that something so crazy could be happening with staff.

They keep saying Whiteside is a knucklehead and misses games with a tummy ache. Mike, Dan, Cote and Stu have missed shows claiming they were sick but they are questioning the honesty and pain tolerance of these elite black athletes in peak physical condition. Alt-right Mike and Dan werefor Timberlake yesterday.This superstar talk has a major element of racism if you as a black man make it look too easy they hate you even more for example FMM, Manny Ramirez, LeBron, Barry Bonds, and our favorite Allen Iverson
How they talk about white athletes is coded you know the classic sneaky athletic and cerebral
