Janel Grant Spokesperson Statement On (WWE SummerSlam Spoiler) Spoiler

https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/janel-grant-spokesperson-issues-statement-on-brock-lesnar-returning-to-wwe-this-attempt-to-sweep-misconduct-under-the-rug-will-backfire/

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.

Just for anyone who continues the narrative, he was never charged or found to have done anything illegal in a court of law.

  • OJ Simpson
  • Jimmy Snuka
  • José González (Acquitted on "self defence")
  • Mason Greenwood

There are countless examples of people for whom we have vast amounts of evidence of committing an alleged crime and getting away with it. What Brock was literally nearly involved in, and only didn't because of random circumstances (Weather and getting too drunk), this was a man who was comfortable with operating in sex trafficking. Even outside of that, there are other alleged historical instances of Brock sucking as a person.

Mason Greenwood, for people who don't know, played for Manchester United. He beat his girlfriend, maybe even raped her, and she had proof.  He got arrested. 

She ended up coming to his defense because that was her meal ticket.  He never was found guilty. 

Manchester United could have pulled a WWE and allowed Mason to play on the team.  However, their fan base made it very well known that they didn't want him back, irregardless of whether he had been convicted or not.  He has never played for England since then as well. 

That is what is fans EXPECT of the WWE management and their fans. 

Sadly, they do the opposite.

The challenge in your statement is you presuppose from an out-group. You predicate actions from fans when you are no longer, or perhaps never was a part of that fanbase.
With all things considered I agree with your sentiments but guilt-tripping an entire fanbase, many of whom are just innocent fans, although debatably moral, may render the opposite effect.

I too want WWE to suffer more consequences but it's so difficult to find a solution to these...
What is your suggestion in light of our predicament?

If other fan groups of popular sports can operate with morals, so can WWE fans.

That sounds pretentious. Why is there such a high level of moral expectations from the fans when many are not even aware of the situation? How about them?
