Sally Jenkins' article in today's Washington Post.

In reply to: Ropes & Gray's report re USAG (Nassar-focused)  posted by Bruno95


These actions fit a larger longtime pattern: On multiple occasions, USA Gymnastics “ignored credible reports of abuse, and essentially operated to block or delay any action on those reports.” It “stifled” responses, repeatedly failed to follow up on complaints, demanded victims go through unreasonable procedures, and its “files contain inexplicable gaps in investigations.” Worst of all, USAG provided legal counsel to victims, only for its lawyers to turn around and become adversaries to them in legal proceedings, using the information it had acquired about the strength of their cases.

The investigators tried to ask Jack Swarbrick, the longtime former counsel for USA Gymnastics, about this pattern, which looks suspiciously like a calculated strategy to undermine and discourage victims. But he refused to be interviewed. He remains in hiding behind his athletic director’s desk at Notre Dame.





That nickname better fits Swarbrick and Fr. Jenkins

I was due for another donation to the SB Center for the Homeless, which I've been making ever since some blockhead suggested we were steering money away from that charity and towards the billboard and print ads from December 2016.


A good look for our University *

I wonder if it'll be any different this time...


It would appear the cat is firmly out of the bag this time.

And we have a big semifinal national championship game to play on the 29th. 18 days of fun and music and nothing but fun and music. One dead, imaginary girlfriend ain't got nothing on 300 sexually-abused girls.

Time to pay the piper. Good job, ND, thinking this would all go away. It looks like Savvy's savviness will finally come home to roost. Too bad home is Notre Dame.
