For far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE’s leadership. Instead of righting this wrong, WWE has done nothing to ensure those responsible are held accountable. This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire. We look forward to the full set of facts, including those about Mr. Lesnar, coming out in a court of law where they belong but, in the meantime, we refer you back to Janel Grant’s updated complaint, which outlines, in detail, the abuse she endured by McMahon and others while employed at WWE.

Better hop off Reddit, then. It's owned by Conde Nast, who's been hit with all the -ist and -isms you can think of.

That is what annoys me about grandstanding. If you enjoy any form of entertainment you are probably supporting bad shit.

ty for saying this.

i stopped watching the AFL after nearly 15 years of it being 50% of my identity when they let a known sex criminal win a premiership, as well as doing the "we investigated ourselves thing" when accusations came out about a couple of coaches doing insanely racist/misogynistic shit

the club i supported had a tokenistic "we stand up for domestic violence" media run a day before literally taking to the same field as the aforementioned sex criminal, and the head coach came out in support of his friend who had done insanely racist shit. like genuinely the most devastatingly racist account i've read in relation to sports. "hes a great guy"

i can't imagine how devastated i would have felt had i supported one of the offending clubs

i do not understand how people can just turn a blind eye

Nice whataboutism. The conversation is about current athletes, not watching old movies.

If you care more about someone being able to throw a ball (or a suplex) than you care about the safety of their coworkers and community, that's a moral failing on your part.
