    Is there going to be a "Crypto.com" patch on his jersey?

    Only in Los Angeles would they build a statue for a rapist and include the rapists daughter in the “tribute”.

    The Lakers are also cheap - so I am having expecting one of those Renaldo statues that look like a third grader made it.

    He was never found guilty, and you're a lawyer

    Weird for you to talk of him as if he was convicted and has presumed or legal guilt, at most its just unknown, is it not?

    He is guilty of rape. Her blood was on his white T-shirt, she had tearing as well and bruises on her neck. He also admitted to the legal definition of rape in his apology and settled a civil suit filed against him by her for millions of dollars.

    The case was dropped after her name was leaked and she received death threats and people started breaking into her home. She didn’t want to testify at that point.

    Not everyone guilty of a horrible crime is convicted. OJ Simpson murdered his wife - he is a murderer. Ben Rothlisberger is a rapist as well.

    He wasn’t found guilty though, you are assuming based on the publicly leaked details and are assuming guilt in an opinionated matter.

    Can you quote out the part where he admitted he raped in his apology?

    The blood / tear and civil suit aren’t really proof of guilt in my opinion. I’m not saying that he isn’t, or was, I got not clue.

    Famous people get away with stuff. Do you think OJ was innocent as well?
