I am a long time viewer, and a first time poster. This one is personal to me, as I live here, and know some of the people involved. Bottom line, the people who have been pushing this lawsuit are pieces of *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*. Mike Disabato is a turd, and anyone who believes anything he says is an idiot. This is purely a cash grab by a garbage human being. Sadly, one of my best friends jumped in this lawsuit and I let him know how disappointed I was with him. 

I knew about all this back in the day, but Strauss was not employed by the wrestling program, he was employed by Ohio State. What the hell do you think would have happened if Hellickson had gone to the administration and said "I need you to get rid of this gay doctor". He would have been fired on the spot. Hell, he'd still be fired on the spot. Even sooner.

Strauss wasn't employed by the wrestling team, he was employed by Ohio State. Hellickson had no power to do anything. And Jordan had less. The only reason that anyone gives a damn about this are either ex OSU athletes trying to get an easy payday or liberals. I don't believe for a minute that anyone gives a damn about the athletes, they just smell blood in the water for someone they hate due to politics. 

Life is simple. Tough my balls longer than  necessary and I'll punch you in the face. 

Horrible first post, sorry.

You think Hellickson would have gotten fired for reporting that Strauss was repeatedly groping athletes? The fencing coach did report it, and she didn’t get fired.

Even if DiSabato is a “turd,” all evidence says he is telling the truth about the abuse, and he inspired others to come forward.  The abuse happened, so tOSU should have to pay.

I couldn't disagree with this post more and find it shameful to insinuate this is all for money. It's as if you didn't watch the documentary at all because this was explained fairly simply by the other athletes coming forward.
 

Strauss royally screwed up some of these guys' heads and it's obvious. A damn referee was touched by this guy, not just the student athletes. Are you going to shame over 2800 people in which many were raped and say it's a load of BS? Because Strauss is dead and gone the only way to get any restitution is to go after their pocket books after the university allowed this to happen for over a decade while complaints were given by others.

 

It is even more disappointing how Hellickaon disappeared on his own guys at the end of the documentary and completely changed my view of the coaches after having watched. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt for a while but the evidence is really damning and unbelievably shameful and spineless behavior by the coaches.

 

I think this ultra macho 'I wouldn't let this happen to me' is a total croc and exactly what's wrong with the sport. That's the attitude that kept all this concealed for so long and allowed for so many to be abused.

 

This is still just a sport at the end of the day and the way some people/coaches/fathers act as if their kids are going off to war is laughable. Jordan Burroughs/Ben Askren have been way ahead of the curve on this destructive mindset that your post would clearly suggest you're apart of. You call one of the guys a friend that came forward and the fact you didn't support him says way more about your actions than the courage it took him to do so... (mind you there have still been no payouts/settlement)

I am surprised no one killed Strauss vigilante style.

I’m going to give you some free advice because I have been where you are. I’m a PSU alum. They made documentaries about my school too. This is not the way. Even if you think you’re right nobody else will. Your school is being dragged through the mud (rightfully so). It sucks. But this isn’t the way. Don’t defend what happened on the internet.
