And as far as I know, he's always denied the accusations and was never charged of anything so why should we cancel the guy? If we cancelled everyone who was accused of something we'd be cancelling a whole lot of good innocent people.
What amazes me is how does the guy always look so young? He's 64 and looks to me like he's about 50. |
I can understand that position. I put a lot of stock in the book "Baseball Cop" by Eddie Dominguez and I choose to believe that this was a giant cover up by the league. Parts of that book looked into human trafficking and stealing of international signing bonuses. So my perspective is coming from that angle. While Bowden wasn't specifically named in that book the details lined up very conveniently with Bowden's alleged actions. I feel he had to have a fall on the sword moment to protect a bigger issue. I don't think that is all that far fetched. I also feel the NFL tried to bury the CTE stuff as another example. It's coming from that perspective that these leagues will protect the shield at all times. However, like you said there was never a charge but I did want to point out that I wasn't just blatantly trying to cancel a guy out.
