Maurice Washington Faces Charges

I'm already exhausted reading the premature outrage everywhere and everyone's go-to move of screaming for someone to get fired even for something as little as this. Blows my mind the way people think on reddit/other message boards when no information is even being presented. It's just a bunch of low lives looking for some action and crave seeing people being fired no matter what it's for as long as it's not their program. And no, I was not commenting on any of those threads during Schiano/Urban Meyer/Michigan State scandals etc until actual firings/statements and other actions actually started rolling into place.

Forget the rape or sexual assault or legal aspects for a moment. If Mo sent the text, then he sent a sex video in order to humiliate this girl. Is that not enough for him to be kicked off the team?

Do you have any idea how many guys we'd have to kick off the team for saying rude things to ex girlfriends if we established that line in the sand?

WTF? So saying rude things to ex girlfriends is the same as sending explicit sexual videos of the ex to them?

what did she say to him? How did they break up? Did she cheat on him? There is another side to this story. Is what he did immature? Yes. Was he a high school senior talking to his ex high school girlfriend? yes. I am not saying slut shaming is ok but I think this whole thing is going to make a lot more sense rather soon.

Yes this does make him a s#!tty person and it may be a stretch but obviously Mo grew up in a very bad background if you have seen his documentaries where he likely had no good influencers whatsoever. This whole incident happened right before he got to UNL so him being under Frost & Co's wing might have changed him as a person. Yeah it's only one year but the culture can change his whole mindset. No, it doesn't mean we should necessarily keep him on the team but I wouldn't be critical of Frost/Staff if they did keep him on the team (obviously people of other fanbases would and would use it as trash talk material for years to come). Lets not forget that Frost got Hughes out of Juco who I'm pretty sure was only in juco because of a domestic violence charge or something like that

So is anyone worried this could potentially have damaging effects on Scott Frost being our head coach?

Yes, some people are worried about that.

Just like when Mike Riley got fired after that incident at Tommy Armstrong's house, or when John Cook got fired when Lauren was involved in that hit and run or when No got fired after Suh heroically swerved to avoid hitting that dog.

There's nothing she could have said to him that warranted the kind of response that involves revenge porn.

Agreed. It's annoying seeing so many people just ignoring context just for the sake of wanting to see an athletic program go up in flames (talking about reddit). Obviously what he did was really s#!tty but it shouldn't mean he doesn't deserve a second change/get his life ruined over it. Obviously I'm assuming he didn't know the video was rape/sexual assault and thought it was just consensual. He obviously felt like the girl was only texting him because now he is "famous" in a way and wanted to remind her why he still has ill feelings towards her. That's my guess atleast

If he didn't think it was an assault, and thought she consented, then he's just (stupidly, wrongly, ignorantly) trying to hurt her by being mean. It's not greatly different to just call her a whore. He just put what he perceived to be an exclamation on it.

You don't know that's why he sent it. You really can't imagine having your girlfriend or ex girlfriend have a threesome soon after or at the same time you were with her, and still being hurt by it and sending it back to her as a reminder when she tries to talk to you out of the blue 2 years later after you're successful?

And it IS relevant whether he thought it was sexual assault or not. If not, he thought she did it willingly and he sent it directly to her. If he knew it was sexual assault he's a total a$$h@!e. It can easily have been a way to remind her of what she did and tell her to stop talking to him.

All of the above is hypothetical, but you don't know what happened. That's the point.

No but it doesn't mean it should be a life-ruining thing. This is not the same thing as actually committing sexual assault, rape, or domestic violence. This was before Mo had good influencers and he should still have a chance to change as a person. There are MANY college athletes who are s#!tty people/were s#!tty people doesn't mean they should be completely removed of any chance in life for being or having been s#!tty

Then we're going to have to greatly disagree.
