Peyton Manning sexual assault scandal? (1 Viewer)

On the morning after Super Bowl 50, I posted a picture on my Facebook page of Cam Newton smiling and embracing Peyton Manning after the game and simply asked why that warm photo wasn't being talked about instead of Cam being frustrated at the post-game press conference.
- This is probably the only thing that bothers me about this, when people, especially a politically active guy like Shaun King (BLM), run stories to deflect attention from people they favor, it makes me feel less sympathetic. So King didn't care about this until football fans rightly and fairly criticized Newton?

I think it's fair to look at Peyton and this incident, but it's pretty weird how before SB50 no one cared apparently, but now they do.

 
From a 2003 article: http://www.theledger.com/article/20030711/NEWS/307110376?p=3&tc=pg

"After the letter was received at Florida Southern College, it became common knowledge on campus that Dr. Naughright was the athletic trainer referred to by the defendants in Manning," the lawsuit said.

"Thereafter, Dr. Naughright was treated differently by both students and colleagues and her employment situation at Florida Southern College became untenable, which ultimately resulted in her leaving the employment of Florida Southern College."

Naughright, 32, now works in Lakeland as a personal athletic trainer and taint hat model.
Huh, I thought there was more to the Mannings destroying her life than a chapter in a book detailing what Peyton had said all along.

If you read King's story, PM said some things in the press about her and someone took it upon themselves to make sure she saw it. Mind you, this is AFTER a court case with the records sealed and an agreement NOT to discuss it in public.

 
Starting to wonder about the PED's.

Look at Manning's head from when he entered league till now.

He's like a supervillain...that's not just receding hairline...that cranium has exploded straight up.

Least with Barry Bonds, it was more of an all around swelling of the noggin...Peyton's dome looks like it's trying to escape his body.

FWIW this woman is pretty litigious and the above is her version of this.

She filed a ridiculous lawsuit against Donna Karan and also filed a personal injury suit against a restaurant and documented over time the 31 counts of sexual harassment she won suit for.

 
So in other words, the worst thing they have Manning for is an event most people were already aware of that happened 20 years ago...yup. Sounds like a journalist trying to get some clicks on their article.

And this is the exact truth!

The writer is upset people are rightly calling out Cam for acting like a two year old. So instead of just acknowledging Cam "could" have handled it better, I know let try and dredge up allegations from forever in the past in effort to try and excuse Cam.

Nothing new to see here.

 
I had heard rumblings but are you guys saying this full story has been public?
Yes it has been out there for a long time. It just happened a long time ago while he in college. The only reason that writer is bringing it up in that article is he want to stoke the flames of racism yet again.
The Daily News thrives on race baiting stories. 10% of their articles have a racial undertone.
UGH!! This is Shaun King's column? What a waste and not even worth reading it's such slanted sensational bait crap.

Doesn't mean Peyton is or is not scum, but King is not exactly doing gods work down here at the "News"

:lmao: I forgot what a fruitcake this guy was. http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/20/us/shaun-king-controversy/

 
This is the first time the court documents from the defamation trial have come to light and it's pretty damning to Peyton and Archie Manning. They essentially went out of their way to smear this poor woman who did nothing wrong and ruin her career. Very Lance Armstrong-esque. The Manning PR machine is pretty scary when anyone tries to expose St. Peyton for anything other than a wholesome Everyman with high moral standing.
:lmao:

Well that explains it. Without a doubt the worst article I've ever written. I felt like I was on drugs while I was reading it. All over the place and at times made no sense. The only crime I could see here is that Shaun King has a job.

You wrote it but are critical of it?

It was long, but it was perfectly coherent. He was, after all, just summarizing the Plaintiff's Statement of Facts in an Opposition to Summary Judgment. He could have made it clear that the court document didn't contain any findings of fact, but I certainly didn't find it hard to follow.

Probably just me and a case of low blood sugar. As GM pointed out I even said that I wrote it.

Jameis Winston raped a girl and is currently in a civil trial and you don't hear a word about it. Peyton put his balls on a woman 20 years ago and suddenly the sky is falling.
:lmao: You are without a doubt the strangest person on this board.
That is a bold claim.
It's a tough hill to climb.
It's not even close, but I am surprised that Cstu's suspension is already over

I dunno, don't all of the tip journalists brag about their retweet #s to preface a 20 year old expose?

I don't know about the worst but this alternative college newspaper writing:

Thirteen years ago, USA Today obtained 74 pages of explosive court documents on Peyton Manning, Archie Manning, the University of Tennessee, and Florida Southern College that revealed allegations of a sexual-assault scandal, cover up, and smear campaign of the victim that was so deep, so widespread and so ugly that it would've rocked the American sports world to its core. Yet USA Today never released those documents for reasons I can't explain.

Who is asking YOU to explain it? Did you ask or investigate why they chose not to run with it? Are you connected with USA Today editorial in any way?

Facebook wouldn’t be invented for three more months. Twitter didn’t come for three more years. The word “viral” was still only being used to describe the spread of infectious diseases.


Does this guy think the concept of stories being passed online was only created with twitter?

Less than 24 hours later, a source who claimed to see my article on the racial double standard, sent me a 74-page court document from Polk County court in Florida. Sitting in the San Francisco airport, waiting for a flight home, I opened the PDF, began reading, and felt like I had stumbled on to state secrets. I literally moved to where nobody could see my computer screen.

Simply embarrassing all around here.

Dr. Jamie Naughright was as an absolute force of nature in the University of Tennessee's sports program.

Author makes this determination.... how? This writing is hack and too conversational anyway.

Manning allegedly then proceeded to scoot down the training table while Naughright examined his foot.

This is probably the first time in recorded history that in a serious paragraph about a sexual assault "scoot" has been used as a verb.

And now this, from the article:

When Rollo learned of the complaint, he allegedly concocted a story that Manning actually pulled down his pants to moon another student-athlete, Malcolm Saxon, who was nearby. According to Rollo, after mooning the student, Naughright just happened to move her head right into Manning's pelvic region. Rollo acknowledged under oath that he was the first person to use the word “mooning.”

One person, though, could settle all of this: Malcolm Saxon.

And, in fact, he did settle it. In an affidavit, Saxon refuted Manning's story and made it clear that Manning never mooned him. In a letter to Manning, Saxon, who stated that he lost his eligibility as a student-athlete over it, practically begged him to come forward and tell the truth (see page 20)

However, this is from Malcom Saxon's own biography at his current job at a camp:

Malcolm Saxon, of Jackson, MS, is our Junior Camp Program Director. Malcolm graduated from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville in 1997. While in college, Malcolm was a member of the cross country/track and field teams and was very active with the RUF ministry. !
So I'll confess to not being intimately acquainted with the redshirt process, but Rollo is identified in this piece as an assistant athletic trainer. Apparently,(in the legal docs cited) Rollo, in 1996, his junior year, denied Saxon's redshirt request as retribution. I suppose this could have been a medical redshirt, but thats not clarified or identified. Rollo is not identified as a head athletic trainer, and its said that Saxon spoke to Football HC Phil Fullmer, but he lists in his own bio that he was on the track and field team. Am I the only one thats having trouble finding a flow chart here? Was he also on the team? Did he and Manning have a relationship apart from sharing a training room apparently (which is unlikely given the huge support centers for Division 1 powerhouse programs UNLESS Saxon was on the team). None of this makes sense and his writing does nothing to help clarify things. Quite the contrary.

Instead, the school asked Naughright to leave. Having poured her heart and soul out to the University of Tennessee for nearly 10 years, she agreed, as a part of a settlement agreement, to part ways.

Once again, how does he know this? Did he speak to anyone?

In 1998, she served as the head athletic trainer for the U.S. women's track and field program in Beijing.

What? What the hell is this? A womens track and field program in Beijing?

Yet, in 2001, after moving on and revitalizing her career, everything came crashing down again. Now a quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, and more famous than ever, Manning violated the confidentiality agreement in a way that could not be undone. It has scarred Naughright like a scarlet letter to this very day

Just shamefully hack.

Manning and his father, Archie, had written a book called "The Mannings"

There is no book by that name listed on Amazon. There IS a book called Manning but who needs details when copying and pasting.

perhaps wanting to put their stamp on the incident in Knoxville before it ever reached the public, they threw Naughright under bus.

So the crux of this piece is built on the authors choice of "perhaps". Presupposing motivation, not seeking comment, NOR EVEN QUOTING FROM THEIR OWN WORDS IN A CUT AND PASTE HAPPY PIECE.

I can't even be bothered to go on. This guy just sucks at writing and PERHAPS got his job based on the number of followers he has.

I feel dirty even defending Peyton, and I don't doubt a more capable writer might, MIGHT be able to make more of this. But he did this when he was 19. He is 39. He has been a public figure subsequently for 20 years since this incident occurred. No other writer, presumably, has been able to gain traction with it. But some this racially murky bozo has decided depositions constitute investigative journalism now.

Honestly, he wasn't really a well-known figure prior to winning the Super Bowl.
 
The thing that that bothered me was King essentially took the Statement of Facts section of her brief and turned it into the gospel truth. Despite its title, the statement of facts is argument. It's inherently one-sided. He should have reminded the reader, repeatedly, that these are her allegations.
