My issue is that a lot of folks want to distract from the actual issue. At least 8, more will come, MSU players, coaches, and staff directly participated in, or allowed, an egregious assault to occur in the Michigan tunnel.

The actions of those MSU players that participated and the failure to act by those that did not intervene is the problem. The tunnel did not assault the players, the Michigan players did not assault the MSU players and did not assault one another. To go on a winding experiment of whataboutism amounts to shifting the goal post, shifting the blame, and ultimately blaming the victims.

They walked up a tunnel to their locker room. Maybe they talked some smack. So what? The logic of questioning the victim for why they became the victim in the first place is BS. People shift blame and say “you shouldn’t have got drunk at that party”; “ you shouldn’t have wore those clothes”; “you shouldn’t have been in that part of town”; “you shouldn’t have skipped up that tunnel.” All of those actions I just described are not the problem. People have a right to live their lives without fear of being assaulted. Show me where the victims took the perpetrators’ freedom to live their lives in peace and safety. It’s BS.
