Stay classy, Charlie Hustle. Pete Rose in trouble again.

I think you guys should take a little time to consider what impact abuse might have on a person. Waiting years or decades to report that abuse could just be how long it took the victim to process and understand what happened to them. It doesn't necessarily make claims suspicious.

And so it begins:

Phillies disinvite Pete Rose from alumni weekend.

That, and the trauma of having to relive it and risk being disbelieved are strong disincentives.

Pete Rose is that person who never learns.

A little embarrassing but looking at my memorabilia wall I have acquired quite the collection of modern day degenerate athletes. In a weird twist, every one of these items were purchased at charity events for children so that takes the sting out of it.

Pete Rose - gambling, statutory rape
Lawrence Taylor - drugs, statutory rape
Ray Lewis - obstruction of justice/murder
Terrell Suggs - domestic abuse
Magic Johnson - not quite degenerate but obviously promiscuous
Roger Clemens - steroids

I should package them up and sell as the Modern Day Degenerate Athlete Collection.

Time to clean up the collection!

Most players have been permitted to behave how they want, with little to no accountability for their actions.

All due to their athletic ability.

This behavior has long been laid from early years, thru high school and college and the pro's.

I suspect there are prevalent problems on college campuses and in the pro's that are unreported or kept quiet by one means or another.

You need an O.J. and a Ray Rice and a Denny McLain and a Chad Curtis, for starters.

Your degenerative athlete wall is incomplete w/o something of Wilt and his 20K female conquests.

Alleged, that is.

Maybe Rose can sign a few baseballs "I'm sorry I had sex with a minor."

Might be worth noting that Clemens has been discussed in similar circles as Rose is now?
