re: As The Red Beans Boil: Formal request for Coach O to testify at April 8 hearing

Anything related to sexual bias, prejudice, assault, or any type of violence against women, real or imagined, in 2020 & beyond is a giant issue much bigger than cheating at football.

Playing the "SEX" card is exactly like playing the "RACE" card. It doesn't matter if the accused is innocent. The accusation alone is judgement in ltself in today's cancel culture. No proof is required. You can destroy just about anyone with a mere rumor.

I have no knowledge or hint of info about any of the allegations against the LSU athletic dept - but if Ed O did any of the things any of these women accusers claim he's done.

I think Ed O is a buffoon - a fool on a lucky streak destined to meet a bad dose of reality. Ed can't really hide from this. He can try but he'll look bad and incur the wrath of the female Louisiana legislators - and many in the public nationwide. The only way Ed escapes IMO is to defend himself. If I was advising him I'd tell him to show up, make a compelling opening statement, and testify with a lawyer by his side.
