Thoughts regarding "STATEMENT REGARDING THREADS IN REGARD TO SUSPENDED....."

[raideroldtimer]

"When word first became public that a player from West Orange-Stark had been suspended from playing in the West Orange-Stark/Hamshire-Fannett game last week, setxsports.com stated that it's policy regarding the matter would be that details published here regarding the suspension would come only after mainstream media, i.e local newspapers, television and/or radio stations revealed such details.  And to this point, setxsports has held to that.  Yesterday, by publishing a link to an article published by the Beaumont Enterprise, the name of the suspended player was made public here.  However, since setxsports has taken its stance, through unofficial channels it has become apparent that this matter will be in litigation and in fact, that process may have already begun.

Thus, until time as such litigation has come to a conclusion or that courts have signaled that it is okay to publish such details, setxsports will not publish any details about the suspension including the name of the suspended player or the details of the alleged transgression.  By publishing the link to the Enterprise article, setxsport does not believe that it committed any wrongdoing.  However, with litigation pending, setxsports has decided to step back and not have any comments regarding this matter until such litigation clears up.

We know that some may criticize this move as setxsports protecting a WO-S player.  Nothing is further from the truth, it is just to trust the courts to sort this out and not be a potential hinderance to that process and to protect the interests of sexsports.com and those that operate this board.  Some may argue that we are being too cautious in this approach, we acknowledge the disagreement up front, but again feel that this is the prudent approach at this point.

We thank you for your patience in this matter.

Personally, I thought policy at SETXsports, was always that we never spoke bad of a particular player as these guys are children and whether or not we agree with a suspension, the specifics in these cases don't belong on this forum. The way I see it, if a person feels they have something to say about it, the Enterpise provides a forum for people to speak their mind no matter how moronic or wise it may be. Let's talk sports......woohoo!

Agreed 100% leave the  studendts alone its not our buisness. We should allow this to be handled by the proper people. Best of luck to these young men hope they turn out ok.

of course no one would protect a football player....not at WOS or Silsbee. but the posters on this site are quick to judge the cheerleaders or girls of whom the pictures are of....question their families....their morality.....etc etc etc.

boys will be boys.....kids will do stupid things...yada yada yada.....what about the victims....

do yall know only 3 percent of sexual assault claims are false.....therefore 97 percent are accurate......those numbers in any other situation in life would not garner questioning.....however when it comes to boys being boys.....then add in the elite athlete factor......wow how do some of you sleep at night.

and we wonder why they keep doing things like this.....because most to do nothing but make excuses for them or put the blame on someone else.

if they didnt want to be talked about....then dont do things that put you in that situation....if you want to be considered a "child" then dont do adult crimes.
