    It's bad. No question. That very last line tells you they didn't think about their response. If you took her to your house how did she end up in the other house?
    The only response would be that you or someone gave her a ride back and then all of the other stuff happened after she arrived back there. The timeline and the sequence of events doesn't add up at all.

    I shouldn't have equated philandering with sexual assault, although both fit into the lack-of-respect-for-women category.

    I used to feel the same way. You are 100% incorrect.

    I doubt the city will run off Damian.

    We live in a time when an isolated allegation, not a charge, not a conviction, not a pattern of behavior, is enough in some people’s eyes to end a person. Says more about them than it does about Billups. The only fact in this whole thing is nobody knows the facts and anyone stating otherwise is purely speculating, and that’s it.

    Fuck your tone.

    You are basing your view of Dame on interviews and Twitter. I am basing my view on the physical world, here, in Portland. I'm sorry your hero is a philanderer. It disappointed me too. I would have never mentioned it, if he didn't endorse Billups. All these hypocrites.

    Or he has an open relationship.

    Again, I'm not judging Dame for his actions, but if you couple his actions with his endorsement of one garbage human and then another potentially garbage human, then Dame sucks too.

    No I'm genuinely curious for your opinion and your reason for it. The only remotely disrespectful stuff to come out of his mouth about women or towards women has been in his raps

    Good points. I'm not about to get into a debate about an incident as old as this one. I'll just say that if a rape actually occurred, it's too bad the players weren't charged and the matter settled in a court of law. I know that these things are hard to prove, and I understand that the pressures on a victim to avoid the ugliness of a trial and everything that goes with it. Settling for cash can look a whole lot more enticing than having your whole sexual history trotted out in court. That said, taking that route means that the "truth" never gets settled upon and everyone involved can play the events in their own least-objectionable way. One question I have is whether the Blazers are using the media, with the "leak" to Woj as a way to run a PR test before making a formal announcement. It wouldn't surprise me at all, given the social media blow-up it's causing, for them to pivot to another candidate and say that they had never really decided on Billups.

    Nah. I'm aligned with you on the Billups stuff. But the Dame stuff is a pandoras box you opened. Which im much more concerned about and wish you wouldnt be cryptic
