OM fans- Jeffrey Simmons say

[confucius say]

For the record, the decision on whether or not to allow him to play falls on the school and on Mullen...and I'm fine with whatever decision they make. I don't think this is a big enough thing to have to ruin his career or life or anything, assuming it's a one-time deal. But anyone trying to normalize this or defend him in this instance is the exact same kind of fan that allowed a program like Penn State to get to the point where everyone would turn a blind eye to what went on there.

It's sports, it's not important enough to compromise being a good, honest human being.

What went on at penn state prior to the raping of little kids that eventually led to turning a blind eye to raping little kids?

Eta: or are you equating hitting a female to raping children? I'm fine with whatever punishment Simmons gets, but let's not act like defending hitting a woman is the "exact same thing" as defending raping children.
