The problem is that it's not consistent with previous statements. Since when have the public waited until a case makes its way through court before deciding whether or not a person is guilty? Most people jump to conclusions. The thing is though...its been mentioned on the show many times that the men who play professional football have a very specific type of personality. One that is not above attacking people. That's not to say they're all guilty, but Keith has spoken about them in a negative way on the show before.

I do think it's in poor taste to bring up the fact that video evidence or marks all over someone's body (depending on how much the victim claims they were physically abused) is what you need to believe someone's story. It was fine for Megan and Liza to mention it.
