Travis Walton denies allegations... victim comments on ESPN story
Not sure if this is thread-worthy, but I found this interesting. Since there isn't another thread on Walton's statement today, I figured it might be worth posting.
As you guys probably saw, Walton denied both allegations with a written statement today. I was looking through the comments on ESPN and saw that the victim Ashley Thompson actually commented on the article, saying, "It was plead down because Tom Izzo runs East Lansing, period."
Insane that this girl had a documented concussion and nothing came of this.
I'm not a Twitter person, but if you are it might be worth passing this screencap on to the Twittersphere, maybe tagging some reporters or something.

You're so un-wordly, Dennis. It's "go on walkabout" without the "a". Fair dinkum, Sidney?

He said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me?" Because he comes from the land of plenty.

Walton will spend hard time along with Izzo.

I'm pretty sure this guy also referred to Ace's CFS as a "Phantom Illness". I wouldn't take anything he says seriously.

Don't you mean "they didn't have his major"?
January 31st, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^

I don't know about that. I think the #metoo movement is a game changer, and many schools are about to have their moment 'in the barrel'. Sparty is getting hit now because of Nasser, but I am quite sure the next school is right around the corner. Who knows, we could be next.
The problem is, Izzo thinks what he did was right because it was normal in college sports. But normal and right are two different things.

but I find myself laughing when people defend "the Dean of Discipline", Mark Dantonio.
Yea, he gets that nickname becuase his players are always in trouble! Now if only the Athletic Department would have noticed that 16 of those disciplinary actions involved some sort of crime against women.
Great job, MSU.
