Marshall Faulk has been fired from NFL Network over accusations of sexual misconduct. He played for Indianapolis Colts and St. Louis Rams.
Rivals hosts Scott Mitchell and Jason Buck talk about why it took so long for the #metoo movement to hit sports.
They've seen dim sports figured get taken advantage of in finances and relationships, and it's hard to know sometimes who to believe.
Scott thinks that having multiple accusers is something that gives credibility to the accusations.
They talk about the football locker room. That can be a rough place. Maybe some guys can't distinguish between being in the locker room and being in the outside world.
Jason wants to see due process. You are innocent until proven guilty. There is a process to find the truth and it should come into play.
They talk about whether or not the huge number of accusations will eventually lead to the eventual discrediting of accusers. Will people stop believing or caring?
One thing we can do is a better job educating our sons how to treat people with respect. Our families should be a place where we learn to be the kind of people who would never sexually harass someone.
Scott Mitchell and Jason Buck, hosts of Rivals are past football rivals at the university and professional level, come together to talk life and sports. Scott Mitchell was a record-setting quarterback at the University of Utah. He then went on to play for Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens, and Cincinnati Bengals. Jason Buck was drafted out of Brigham Young University in the first round of the NFL draft. He played on the defensive line for Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Redskins. He earned a Super Bowl ring in the Redskins victory over Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVI.
