Quote:But the backlash is on the franchise. So suspending while the investigation is ongoing is putting the franchise/school/league ahead of the player. It's CYA syndrome at its finest. "We can't risk looking bad so lets do something to this guy even though we don't know whether he deserves it or not."

 

The only argument I can see for preemptive suspensions is that somehow the guy going about his life while the investigation goes on hurts the victim. I'm sure it hurts the victim if the guy is never held accountable for deeds he has done, but I have yet to see either of these quotes from victims or lawyers once all is settled:

 

"I know he was charged, suspended, and then put on trial - but it really upsets me that he played those games while they investigated."

 

Or conversely

 

"I know he was never charged, but at least they suspended him for those games to ease my peace of mind."
 

it's a few games at most.  you're really overreacting
