| Every now and again a story comes along that | | | | innocent? In this country we are supposed to |
| really burns your backside and recently in | | | | be innocent until proven guilty. I am |
| the news there's been talk about the National | | | | wondering really why Nicholson of FSU was not |
| Organization for Women making a huge deal | | | | allowed to play and what was the basis for |
| about some words coach Paterno of Penn State | | | | not allowing him to play? Anyone can make an |
| said during a press conference concerning a | | | | accusation against someone of anything but |
| Florida State football player and the | | | | until there is proof of a crime an allegation |
| situation the player finds himself in | | | | is just an allegation.Let's say it turns out |
| concerning allegations a woman has made | | | | Nicholson is indeed innocent then can he sue |
| against him.The FSU player Nicholson who is a | | | | this woman and turn back time to play in the |
| very good player was held out of the bowl | | | | biggest college game of his life? He'll get |
| game between PSU and FSU over allegations | | | | nothing and still miss the biggest college |
| that he was involved in some sort of | | | | game of his career because someone alledged |
| situation with a woman.Paterno was asked | | | | something which in my mind is not fair in the |
| about it during a press conference and | | | | least.Don't get me wrong if indeed evidence |
| Paterno who is always a gentleman of good | | | | comes forward to find Nicholson did do |
| nature and sense basically said it's tough | | | | something then I feel for this girl and her |
| out there in the world and you have to be | | | | family but let's remember that it's innocent |
| careful and kids have to be smart and know | | | | until proven guilty folks and lets not bring |
| who they're getting involved with and so on | | | | out the firing squad when good coaches and |
| and so forth.The coach was not accusing | | | | good men give an opinion.Let's see the |
| Nicholson and he was not accusing this woman | | | | evidence and have it bring out the facts |
| of anything in my mind he was merely stating | | | | first before we make our decisions on |
| the situation of the world today and the need | | | | Nicholson and we certainly should not involve |
| to be careful in it.The womans organization | | | | a great coach and a great man in this |
| took a hissy fit and asked for the coach to | | | | nonsense for making a comment.I'm |
| be removed after all these wonderful years of | | | | disappointed that a national organization |
| service and after all these years of looking | | | | would be so quick to jump on an innocent man |
| after kids and making sure they graduated and | | | | and a good coach and role model over his |
| got good grades because I suppose they think | | | | comments that to me seemed fine. The National |
| he wasn't sympathetic enough to this woman | | | | Organization for Women or NOW as they are |
| who is making the accusations against this | | | | known should be ashamed really and should get |
| player.My feeling on this is when did we on | | | | facts on cases and get evidence before they |
| this planet become guilty until proven | | | | send out the axe man. |
