4. I agree

This scandal is very similar to Sandusky. It’s over for him. All he can do is delay the inevitable.

3. Unfortunately, there are many more than four. Hope they all come forward.

Guys hide abuse more than women. Hopefully, the courage of these guys will bring forward the dozens of others I suspect are out there.

5. Absolutely believe the wrestlers. There just no words outraged enough for the nen

Who support the men who enabled the abuse of young men in sports.
And for the record, I abhor the men who do much more of the same and much more often about women.
Google “child sexual abuse in sports”

Millions of victims.
Jordan was a knowing accomplice
He must GO.

snip..."Some former athletes recall him differently: Locker-room voyeur. Serial groper. "Dr. Jelly Paws."

In interviews with The Associated Press in recent weeks, seven former athletes and a former nursing student shared detailed allegations of sexual misconduct dating back to the 1970s against the doctor, who killed himself in 2005 at age 67 and is only now under investigation...."

11. Jim Jordan is obviously completely ethically unqualified...

to hold ANY job.

12. Your tagline is so ironic

This is the first I'm hearing this story and I don't really follow wresting, but Jordan's name is instant recognition - an NCAA champion at Wisconsin. I didn't know he was in Congress.
