A big-time college fan base FINALLY pushes back on a coach associated with a violent sexual scandal and national media members want to rip them? Easy to see why rape culture still exists in this sport

The idea that you don't question a coach until something is 100% proven as fact is how people like Briles were allowed to operate for so long. Also, how many people did McQueary's testimony help put behind bars? Now you can't believe him?
