When victims are made public, especially when attacking professional athletes, they are shamed, assaulted, vilified. This just happened to the woman who accused Jackson Mahomes of assault. She went through so much abuse that she stopped cooperating with police and the charges were dropped. Naming the accuser does nothing but encourage people to keep their mouths shut and let "boys be boys".
Suggesting anything else is BS, imo.

I don't think I agree with victim shaming.

Considering the money she's asking for is not in anyway life changing. I have a hard time buying that she's only doing this for a quick payday.
She should have went to someone high up in the club to get this settled.....someone like....Murphy perhaps.

Well, this seemingly happened and they were told not to open that can of worms.
If the the lawsuit has been filed, they already tried to handle it quietly and the club refused.

It's hard to really speak to this. Walters took the high road in his comments. Just said Jackson was 100% right, and it's a very difficult situation.
I wonder if there was more communication than either will admit but it was exactly along the lines of, "we don't know if we can offer you a contractor how much we will left over for you". And then he also didn't receive much interest in FA (which does surprise me, tbh). 
In a perfect world, I would love these vets to be treated as well as possible on the way out. If we didn't have plans to sign him, or knew it would be a clear pay cut, I would prefer it if we had made that clear from the outset. But maybe we did and Jackson/agent just didn't really believe it. But even though Jackson feels disappointed right now, it all seems like everyone is walking away in a mostly professional manner as they part ways.

Exhibit A) Discrediting the victim.
(this makes it easier to harass them later without guilt)

No it isn’t. Kelly is a creep with a long history of offense. The system is in place to protect victims, not predatory losers. As it should be.

Tbh, Kelly does not get the benefit of the doubt. Dude has been in soo much trouble soo often and kicked off soo many teams, I presume things are worse than we are hearing. Screw the Argos too. 

It's been reported that the Bombers have made contact with his agent. He could be a good player to sign but it always depends on how he fits SMS and how he works with his team mates and coaches. I've never heard anything bad about him but the fact the team has made contact is a good sign.

On the gofundme page, his wife says she’ll be taking a leave from work and she’s hoping to raise money for living expenses. Perhaps he is covered to a certain extent but they still need to live.

Could be they are not ultra confident that they would land him if he does come back. They threw gaudy (650k per) at him to stay last offseason and he walked away without giving it much thought. If he really loved the Lions org he might have mulled that over for a bit.
Toronto would be my bet.
