Someone keeps feeding him more, lol. You mean the ONE person he talked to in his “ investigation” lol?
Look, I get why you don’t like him- but there seems to be 5 versions of this situation.
The alleged victim, and the 4 others, which all seem to dispute her side. ( the police, the mom, the other mom and the accused). And how you keep making this about the head coach is not credible. At least not to a person who truly care about the truth.
This is a fascinating part of this because I'd argue, in our hearts, we really usually don't want to know the truth.
In a post farther back, you lashed out at an "unbalanced" report, the balance of which can be discussed within the confines of journalistic balance and what balance means when someone's not talking at a later point. But we know the truth isn't balanced. If a pregnant woman got bounced off a wall, that it was charged or not has only a slight bearing on if it happened. Truth is something that did or didn't happen. They're both crazy and tie goes to this is overblown isn't a question of truth.
In the end, there are many truths we don't and won't know. So we fill in, often with our own biases or what we'd like it to be.
And in a larger sense, we really don't want truth. The truth is, large portions of the coaches and players we root for are truly unpleasant people. They are powerful, ultracompetitive and often came up in situations of being emotionally coddled and allow to get away with things. I doubt Zach Smith's boorish and fireable behavior is deeply rare (maybe rare to that complete degree). But we whitewash it because we like liking this sport, and thinking too hard about it can make that hard. The man who built my team to prominence was an enormous egomaniacal jerk, and his replacement was petulant, sometimes immature and always rumored to be making s drunken mess of himself. They made the team do the things I wanted and it was never so egregious, so I made peace with it. To a degree, lord knows we did with Urbs, we all do.
