    There’s a significant difference between claiming some things was spontaneous and actually getting consent. This guy wasn’t in a relationship with the player where this type of behavior would have been previously cleared. He’s not even claiming that he asked permission. In this case you would have to assume mutual spontaneous consent. That is what he’s claiming. However, one party has clearly said it wasn’t mutual consent. So now you either have to assume the victim is lying or you take the logical path and realize that there’s photographic evidence of a powerful figure, who doesn’t claim to have asked for consent, assaulting a female athlete and showing no regard or remorse for that behavior.

      First of all thanks for an actual argument without throwing insults and such.

      You are right indeed, about actual consent, spontaneousness/ spontaneous consent. One party says it was spontaneous consent and the other party said it was not, so how do we as the internet observer what it truly was?

      I mean, certainly if it was not, he should resign and such. I would like to say though, I never said that there was no photographic evidence. This matter is an she versus he said.

        You are a clown.

            No man. Use your fucking brain. This is either one of the most intellectually dishonest arguments I have ever seen or you are truly an idiot.

            You’re saying the equivalent of “How do we know person A punched person B, and it wasn’t person B who slammed his face into person A’s fist? shrug We as internet observers just can’t know.”

            It’s disgustingly dishonest. Everyone is trying to tell you this and you keep retreating further. Step out of your shoes or whatever personal reason is causing you to have this cognitive dissonance and look the situation honestly. You should see that your posts defending this have been pathetic and dishonest.

              Dude, can you argue without resorting to insults? All it does is make you look desperate because you can’t focus on the subject, you have to attack the individual.

                What on earth are you talked about? I literally attacked his argument, not him.

                You, on the other hand, offered nothing but tone trolling.

        If he never tried to get consent, there was no consent, implied or otherwise.

      He’s not even claiming that he asked permission.

      I read that he asked her and she said it was okay. Of course, this is his account of things, but it really is just his word vs. hers on this matter.

      Unless someone has a microphone that could’ve picked up the exchange.
