Girls get tested a lot in this day and age. She may be able to provide some decent evidence. But I also see where you're going. It will likely be easy to find some other people she has slept with and trash her reputation and credibility. I kind of look at this like jaywalking. Yes, you can get away with it, but if you get hit by a car...well...it's your fault too.
It goes both ways, unfortunately. So Isaac got the Go Fund Me for his sister's dog. Isaac got the attention for fouls and for his broken elbow. This comes with the territory.
No. You are wrong. You are talking about different things. The things you mentioned are proven facts. He did have broken elbow, he did start a go fund me page, and he got the crap beat out of him nightly. We have no idea if he gave that girl, or any other girl a std. At this point it is not a fact. Yet, it is out there for all the world to read about. Can you imagine just for a minute how your peers and friends would look at you if the same thing happened to you? I bet you would hang head in shame, be embarrased, and mad ass hell. Especially if it wasnt true.
Have you read the text messages? He basically confessed to the whole thing. Do you think people would have come out and supported him like they did on the Go Fund Me if he was "Joe Blow" an Ag Econ major from Richmond, Indiana? Come on. Athletes are public figures and held to a higher standard.
Not to mention the additional, uh, “social opportunities” that a star basketball player has access to...
Not to mention that if Issac is indeed guilty of doing this, perhaps getting the notice out will prevent it from happening again.
If this is true and he carries the herpes virus, that means there are a lot of women who are possibly in the same situation as this young lady. Not a good situation for all parties involved. If there are more , I am sure they will contact the firm in Indianapolis.
If someone cuts off my arm, it doesn't give me the right to cut off someone else's arm.
You can give herpes anytime, not just when sores appear. Let's stop trying to defend Haas' idiotic actions and just call them what they were. Idiotic.
I would respectfully disagree. Assuming she is positive for h. virus and he is positive seems to be a who do you believe. I also suspect pretrial discovery to be able to narrow potential time of infection considerably.
The problem is her entire sexual history will be fair game in a civil proceeding. Since the virus can remain dormant for a long period, as can many other std's, there is way more information we do not know. Like how often was she tested for example. At this point blaming Isaac is not really wrong but it does beg the question if I was his attorney, who infected whom?
This assumes he has herpes, which he hasn’t admitted to. If he does, completely agree with you.
The only reason we are having this discussion is because of him being a athlete. This happens all the time every day and it doesnt make the news.
Intentional isn't even in the equation. I'm positive he didn't have the intent to transfer his disease. However, if he knew about it (based on the texts he did), then he's a scrumbag and should be punished. This incident could literally ruin this girl's life. Who is going to date/marry someone with herpes?
"Isaac, you gave me herpes! I thought you had Chlamydia and it cleared up..."
Again. He never once said he had herpes. That’s critical here because if he doesn’t, this girl has no case. And if he does, her case is still shaky. But the court of public opinion will prevail on Isaac.
