1. Looking forward to seeing it

Thanks for posting it

18. Me too

although I will probably need to wash out my eyes, and maybe my mind, after.

2. This just might get the heat turned on under Jordan.

22. I hope it does!

I hope it brings the wrath of God (figuratively speaking) down on that shit weasel.

[Blue Owl]

26. Turn it up... HIGHER!!!

[hlthe2b]

3. Have I said lately how much I find George Clooney to be a national treasure?

Well, here's to making up for that oversight.

13. THIS

4. Darn that syntax

I realize we're in the post-grammar age of twitter, but still...

This tweet makes a pretty remarkable assertion about George Clooney's activities.

Probably--at least I'm hoping so--this is a documentary by George Clooney about the Ohio State wrestling team scandal.

I'd be almost certain it's not about "where Jordan hushed up the abuse by George Clooney."

9. Yip, that's what the Tweet says, that George committed the abuse.

[Bristlecone]

14. It does read that way

[Silver Gaia]

16. Yes. I noticed that, too.

Good grief.

20. I love the grammar police here! And the spelling police, too.

Poor George, so misunderstood.

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. Yeah, quite unfortunate. Stunned me for a moment, and then I realized what they meant.

It sucks understanding language.

It also makes it impossible to decipher what most rightwing conservatives are trying to say.

25. Oh boy

In this nutty world that might draw a fan club, alas. Thank goodness we understand what it really is all about I hope the mistake didn’t cloud the situation for anybody.

5. "...Jordan hushed up the abuse by George Clooney."

The idiot who wrote that Twit post apparently didn't proofread it. Clooney did not commit any abuse; he produced the documentary.

Gym Jerkin is about to get towel-snapped.

10. May the "snap" sting more than a mere snap.

6. George Clooney To Produce Docuseries On Athlete Sex Abuse Where Jim Jordan Coached

This will be a good documentary https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jim-jordan-george-clooney-ohio-state-sex-abuse_n_603490d9c5b67c32962018c5

Actor George Clooney is producing a docuseries about decades of reported sexual abuse of athletes at Ohio State University, where Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was once an assistant coach of the wrestling team.

The series will be based on a Sports Illustrated article by writer Jon Wertheim last year addressing the allegations against the late Ohio State sports doctor Richard Strauss — and officials’ lack of response.

The university said in its annual crime report in 2019 that Strauss committed at least 1,429 sexual assaults and 47 rapes during his 20-year tenure. Strauss was never charged and died by suicide in 2005.

The docuseries can’t be welcome news for Jordan, who was the assistant coach of the wrestling team at Ohio State from 1987 to 1995. At least three athletes and a referee have alleged they discussed the abuse directly with Jordan, but that he took no action to stop it. Jordan has denied he was told of any abuse or knew of it.

One of the victims in the Sports Illustrated story alleged Jordan knowingly ignored Strauss’ abuse.

21. Can't wait to watch this!

7. For what it is worth

OSU has paid out on two lawsuits involving hundreds of students. Dr. Strauss committed suicide and escaped justice. Just like US Olympics gymnastic coach, John Geddert (after he was charged), associated with Dr.Nasser the pedo Doctor from the University of Michigan. Like you had any doubt about Gym Jordan's character, he tried to get the students he turned his back on to cover for him. There was an attempt to shame the students who first came out into silence.

Asking for a friend....

[gibraltar72]

12. PEE Wee Herman for the GYM character.

[NellieStarbuck]

15. Um, I don't think the abuse is by George Clooney.

The documentary is by George Clooney.

[Jilly_in_VA]

17. Now do Bo Schembechler

and the Dr. Robert Anderson scandal, which might be even worse.

[cilla4progress]

19. Woot!

Thanks, George!
