Apparently Sparty is done hearing about Nassar. Makes 900 page Federal Court filing claiming all pending cases against them should be dismissed.
Disgusting is as disgusting does.

Wow, they keep hitting rock bottom and finds ways to keep digging.
Academic and sports' rivalry aside, they constantly show that they are a despicable, 3rd class institution!
August 27th, 2019 at 8:05 AM ^
Must be their way of beginning the healing process!
August 27th, 2019 at 8:13 AM ^
Actions (and inactions) have consequences. Sorry, MSU.
August 27th, 2019 at 8:15 AM ^
No way of knowing Nasser was a predator? That is what is known as an issue of fact, and to be determined by the jury. There is plenty of evidence based on what has been published already upon which a jury could find MSU had reason to know. I get it, as a lawyer you file a motion to dismiss based on whatever you can conjure. But if the arguments are as tone deaf as the article suggests, MSU really needs lawyers who are more sensitive to the broader issues in this case. There is a way to make these arguments with some sensitivity.
August 27th, 2019 at 8:18 AM ^
That place should burn to the ground. The people running MSU are pure evil.
August 27th, 2019 at 8:21 AM ^
I must admit I’m tired of hearing about as well.
As an institution they should apologize and pay the survivors. I would not be surprised if more is discovered in football/basketball.
August 27th, 2019 at 8:44 AM ^
"survivors"
Larry Nassar was a pretty twisted creepy guy, but using a term like that makes him seem like a mass murderer. Just to keep things in perspective, this guy touched a bunch of Vaginas.
August 27th, 2019 at 8:52 AM ^
"Survivors" is how the women who were abused by Nassar prefer to categorize themselves instead of using the term "victims". Maybe shut the fuck up.
August 27th, 2019 at 8:55 AM ^
..........and the reason is, because attorneys told them to use this term for maximum sympathy.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:03 AM ^
Straight from the MSU Board of Regents themselves.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:07 AM ^
Shit Bird,
You missed a golden opportunity to be a Sparty.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:31 AM ^
I’m surprised Brian let John Engler get an account?
He must have used an alias.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:43 AM ^
Let's not jump to the conclusion that he isn't a Sparty. These comments have troll oozing from all pores.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:12 AM ^
I strongly suggest you take 10 minutes to read this in its entirety before posting again.
August 27th, 2019 at 11:18 AM ^
The actual reason is because many people kill themselves after being sexually assaulted. But turns out you're kind of a piece of shit, so you probably didn't think of that.
August 27th, 2019 at 11:52 AM ^
Well 456, you've picked an awful hill on which to plant a flag.
August 27th, 2019 at 12:21 PM ^
You're a turd sandwich.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:11 PM ^
How dare you insult turd sandwiches like that! Take that back!
August 27th, 2019 at 8:58 AM ^
Holy shit...............this is one of, if not the worst, most tone deaf statements I have ever read on the internet, and that is saying something. Whoever you are in real life, you should be ashamed of yourself. This guy very badly damaged the lives of hundreds of people
August 27th, 2019 at 9:05 AM ^
He did not kill anyone though. And to be honest, there's only so long a person can sit around and be sorry for something that happened to them in the past. I don't think we should encourage this victim mentality, as it's terrible for society.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:56 AM ^
You are proof that abortion should be legal. Mandatory even, for some people, as I'm sure your parents were giant cunts too, to produce something like you. Go fucking die dude.
August 27th, 2019 at 10:34 AM ^
Way to go, you called his ignorant post and raised with abortion and the 'c' word. You stay classy.
August 27th, 2019 at 11:38 AM ^
Good lord this is embarrassing. His take was bad and showed some serious insensitivity to the Nassar victims or survivors. However, these responses are also bad and some are worse than the original bad take. 1464, you should be ashamed of yourself. Telling someone they are the reason abortion should be legal, insulting their parents with the C-word, and finishing up with telling them to die is outrageous in any capacity. That is exponentially worse than having a bad take about victims of sexual assault being able to call themselves survivors.
August 27th, 2019 at 2:14 PM ^
This post of yours is pretty hypocritical considering the next thing you went on to say.
August 27th, 2019 at 2:38 PM ^
Can you explain please? I am not following you. I don't like being a hypocrite, so if you would enlighten me on how I am being one I would appreciate it.
August 27th, 2019 at 3:00 PM ^
You called someone out for a dumb and insensitive comment. Then criticized others for doing the exact same thing to someone else. And if it was due to simply "piling on," well you weren't the first person to call put who you did, either.
August 27th, 2019 at 3:13 PM ^
Thanks for clarifying. I didn't look at it that way when I was posting. I can see a little bit how you would think it was hypocritical. I was not intending to make it seem I was calling people out for criticizing that insensitive post. I was annoyed with people attributing things to him he didn't say or implying things that weren't there. My comment you replied to was meant to show disdain for the word choice used, not the tone of disgust. In my view, calling someone out for a demeaning and insensitive post by using demeaning and vulgar language doesn't make you better, it makes you the same. I wanted to express that because I want the world to be kinder place. It looks like I failed to articulate myself and my intentions based on the replies I've gotten. Thats my fault. I want us to live up to the image we like to portray for ourselves as michigan fans.
August 27th, 2019 at 10:37 AM ^
You know what is terrible for society? People that "think" like you.
August 27th, 2019 at 2:17 PM ^
When I was like 11 years old I was sleeping over at a friend's house, and I woke up and he was playing with my penis while I was sleeping. This guy isn't a friend anymore, but later I would found out he was gay.
Should I go around telling everyone that I am a rape survivor because of this incident?
August 27th, 2019 at 2:33 PM ^
Dude, I'm going to take you at your word that you really believe what you said, and are not trolling. What Nassar did was a terrible abuse of power. Some of these gymnasts were impressionable young athletes who would never dream that a doctor from a reputable university would abuse power and prey upon young women/girls. So, Nassar's actions destroyed a young person's perception of the world, at a crucial developmental age. The damage done will probably affect their future romantic relationships, relationships with future children, and likely destroyed their trust in humanity itself. In Dante's inferno, the lowest place in hell is to those that betray. Nassar betrayed his profession, his institution, the US Olympic team, and the trust of young athletes. As a parent, or as a human that can relate to one day being a parent, you surely understand the ire that you are getting in this forum.
To your example of being fondled as an 11 year old, I would suggest seeking professional help. You may not realize or want to admit, but you were victimized. When victimization occurs, the brain can freeze your emotions withing the mental state of when the victimization occurred, i.e. 11 years old in your case. Your response to this tragedy is of that of an 11 year old. I think it would be healthy to seek some help.
I'm writing this out of love of my fellow human and wish you well.
If you are a troll, pound sand.
August 27th, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
I was sleeping over at my friends house, so I really would not have felt comfortable making a scene at the time. But it's a 100% true story that my gay friend was playing with my penis without consent while I slept.
Are you saying I should tell everyone that I'm a victim of rape, and that I am a survivor?
August 27th, 2019 at 4:13 PM ^
I'm saying talk to a professional about it... not everyone.. good luck
August 27th, 2019 at 11:37 PM ^
Seriously soak this in for a minute.
Young girls were molested. They knew It was wrong. They hated it.
An institution told them what they knew was not true. Trust was lost
The institution of adults sworn to educate and care for children convinced their parents that their children had psychological issues.
The children then hated their parents for not protecting them. A father committed suicide out of shame and grief. A daughter committed suicide out of shame and grief.
If they want to be called survivors I think that’s their God Damn privilege.
August 27th, 2019 at 11:43 PM ^
The first time you posted your story, I believed it.
Since you repeated it word for word, it just comes across as baiting someone into an argument with you where you get to frame the narrative. I call complete FUCKING BULLSHIT that you were molested.
BTW, gay people just don't run around grabbing penises.
August 27th, 2019 at 10:45 AM ^
You are either a Sparty troll or a Russian bot, so I won’t argue with you. I will point out that at least one of the survivor’s parents committed suicide when they realized how bad they had fucked up by believing Nasser over their child. So, yeah, people did die as a result.
August 27th, 2019 at 11:01 AM ^
He did not kill anyone though. And to be honest, there's only so long a person can sit around and be sorry for something that happened to them in the past. I don't think we should encourage this victim mentality, as it's terrible for society.
Tone deaf indeed. On the one hand you blast people for using the term survivor, then on the other you say we shouldn't encourage victim mentality. Do you even realize the linguistic underpinnings of what is going on here? Your comments paint you as sexist and borderline evil.
August 27th, 2019 at 1:48 PM ^
Why do you persist and insist on being a flaming ass, or were you just born that way??? If you had a family member who touched in this way, would you still be such a jerk - my guess is YES!

you should probably read up on trauma a bit, I am guessing you must have had some in your life to be the way you are.

Time to drop the ban hammer on this d-bag
August 27th, 2019 at 9:22 AM ^
sur-vi-vor
noun
- a person who survives, especially a person remaining alive after an event in which others have died.
- the remainder of a group of people or things.
- a person who copes well with difficulties in their life.
Point? Survivor has meanings beyond simply remaining alive, so your premise is just beyond fucking dumb.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:40 AM ^
None of those descriptions fit this situation.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:49 AM ^
The third definition pretty much fits it perfectly, but by all means continue doubling down on your bullshit semantics line of arguing.
August 27th, 2019 at 1:37 PM ^
Fuck you. No more discussion, no more bs. Just: fuck you.

Since 2001 doing what he did is officially defined by Federal statute as rape. Yours is the single-most ignorant take I have seen on the matter, and that's saying something.
August 27th, 2019 at 10:32 AM ^
Just to keep things in perspective, this guy touched a bunch of V******.
Probably the worst MGoBlog post of all time.
You don't have kids do you?!
