Re: I saw this and wondered

Does winning cause us to overlook things, or does losing cause us to look for reasons to bash the players? Does winning really cause us to forgive the guilty, or does losing cause us to indict the innocent? (or at least blow petty matters out of all proportion)

I don't know what happened with the Jazz players, but the line about "no physical evidence implicating the men" speaks volumes. An unsubstantiated allegation doesn't equal guilt - unless you play on a losing team and the fans want an excuse to be rid of you!
