Discussion for article #230187
After reading the story one has to ask is how did the FSU police know to show up at the accident scene?
20 minute (at least) absense from accident scene. Be interested in seeing phone records during that period.
Driving with out a license, a hit and run where both cars are totaled and only a couple of tickets with less then $400 in fines. Gee thats almost as much enforcement as Goldman sachs gets from the SEC

The New York Times and its staff would do well to remember that these players are simply student-athletes, trying to earn an academic degree and playing football on the side, simply for the fun of it. By impugning the reputation of the school and the players, the Times is possibly getting in the way of these students landing a job after graduation in some obscure office somewhere in their chose field of study, be it law, finance, or animal husbandry.
How dare they!

Yes, indeedy.
They become the n-word when they can no longer find a real job.
Same as their less athletic brothers and sisters.

And just why is this a story for TPM?
Jeeze, I donāt know. Perhaps you should write a sternly worded letter to Josh Marshall, explaining to him the virtues of only ever reporting on politically tinted stories. Iām sure your sage editorial advice would just help him turn this site around.

True justice would be everyone of these assholes who compound the victimization of rape and other crime victims at the hands of Seminole football players be themselves victimized in some humiliating fashion, and have only the Tallahassee police to turn to for assistance.
But where else are the players going to get enough experience to emerge in the real world as genuine, full time thugs committing crimes and getting a pass? Think of FSU as a prep school for future criminals and miscreants.
Yes, the comments wonāt load for me either cham.
I so want to call Hatch a useless cult asshole.

Yes, they must remember these poor lads and their ruined lives.
Because it involves a methodology for blocking a legitimate news story from reaching distribution in the digital world?

TPM didnāt reach out to Twitter becauseā¦(?)
TPM reached out to spokespeople at the Times and the FSU athletic department, but did not immediately hear back from either.
I mean, the story is about something being blocked maliciously-ish on Twitter. Shouldnātā¦ ya knowā¦ journalisticallyā¦ Twitter be on the short list of entities to reach out to since they are the main conduit of the issue being reported on?
When shit like this is āoverlookedā it only spurs the thought that TPM is either weirdly ameteur or just a bunch of skittish self-kowtowers (like us liberals have been so readily proven to be very recentlyā¦ yet again).
