Maybe they shouldn’t be, but they are.
Unless I missed it, Sills hasn’t been released yet. Surprising the Eagles haven’t just cut him. He’s not a good enough player to be worth any negative PR.
Yes, I understand football is secondary to the victim, but this is a football board and all.

Rape kit backlogs are a loud and clear message from city executives to prosecutors, cops and women that sexual assault prosecutions are unimportant. [Reply]
I can't wrap my head around or get in the headspace of someone who has experiecned rape or kidnapping. That being said, a report filed this late always pushes me to the "wait and see" approach because too often we see "victims" point fingers at people much later, after the fact, and once the person has $ to go after... I'm not ignorant to the fact that the victims of rape can take time to heal, and/or come forward after such an incident, but I do hope this guys life/career isn't ruined off a lie, seeing as he went undrafted and made the team of 53. Even if it's turned out to be a lie, things like this ruin guys' careers when they haven't cemented themself in the league yet. [Reply]
