It sounds like the head coach was doing everything he could to protect his athletes. You canā€™t tell me Jordan didnā€™t know anything about the problems they were having. He heard locker room talk and I canā€™t imagine the head coach didnā€™t talk about the problems with his assistant.

Jordanā€™s denials ring hollow. They almost come across as the comments of some one who was involved himself.

But Jordan always seemed like such a nice guy. :anguished:

The longer Jordan holds out the more details are going to come out.

And it sure does not look like thatā€™s going to be pretty.

ā€œā€¦some rush to Jordanā€™s defense while others express anger and disbelief that he would feign ignorance to protect his own skin.ā€

In other words, Jordan hasnā€™t changed a bit since his 20ā€™s.

I hope youā€™re right, @squirreltown - he should go, and soon, but I bet he hangs in there with the belief that no one will or could touch him. And, given his colleagues and the head of his party, he may just be right.

Somehow I donā€™t think Melania Trumpā€™s comment about ā€œItā€™s just boy stuffā€ is going to hold up here.

He was probably charging admission to the mesomorph chasers.

Why make the distinction between locker room talk and formal reports of assault, if neither happened? It just shows heā€™s trying to hide behind slippery semantics while lying about what he knew.

Letā€™s not get caught up in the BS. Jim Jordon was charged with the welfare of young men at a University. Period. ā€˜Locker room talkā€™? Fine. INVESTIGATE that there is no ā€˜there, thereā€™. You fking coward. You are blaming the kids. What kind of a monster are you?

As assistant coach he was an official of the university. If he heard locker room talk of sexual abuse he had a duty to report it up the chain and to take steps to protect his student athletes.

My friends, I give you the honorable James Daniel Jordan, the new Speaker of the House and face of the Republican Party and ask you if this is not simply perfectā€”a judgmental, self-righteous, accusatory prick who has an appalling skeleton in his own closet that heā€™s simply lying about to save his miserable skin. Perfect. Simply perfect.

It was a crime not to report what he knew, so he seems to be trying to suggest that ā€œlocker room talkā€ doesnā€™t carry that requirement. (The term itself connotes talk that is dubious.) It seems clear heā€™s told his lawyer that he heard such talk and it can be proven.

I wish Karma would have reacted this swiftly to Mitch McConnell, might have saved us a lot trouble.

Asking for a friend, how can one party have so many scandals going on in such a short period of time?

Yuck!

Jordan, youā€™re the creep Iā€™ve always thought you were!

Six former Ohio State University wrestlers have now come forward to deny Rep. Jim Jordanā€™s (R-OH) assertions that he did not know about the team doctorā€™s habitual sexual abuse while he was assistant coach.

Jordanā€™s response was, ā€œtRump sez thereā€™s a difference between locker room talk and every other form of communication.ā€

The media is so focused on what the wrestlers are saying, they are missing the fact that OSU has stated that Jordan has been contacted in the universities investigation. Jordan denies that too, but itā€™s easier to take on the wrestlers than the university.

This guy is in deep, and the new details of men watching the wrestlers shower and the head coach dragging people out of the building is pretty damning to OSU AND Jordan.

If he thought the 11 hour grilling they gave Clinton was badā€¦
