WRfan1 152 Report post Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, Martini said: Below from POLITICO article. The report — produced for the school by the law firm Perkins Coie — found that Richard Strauss, a longtime doctor for Ohio State athletic teams, sexually abused at least 177 male athletes from 1979 to 1996. When the scandal broke last year, Jordan — a national champion wrestler who later became an assistant coach for the Ohio State wrestling team — adamantly denied having had any knowledge of the allegations against Strauss. Jordan was an assistant coach from 1986 to 1994. But several wrestlers insist Jordan knew, directly or indirectly, about Strauss' behavior, and he was named in lawsuits against the university. Other wrestlers told POLITICO they were regularly harassed in their training facility by sexually aggressive men who attended the university or worked there and that Jordan and other coaches did nothing to stop the behavior. However, Friday's report states investigations "did not identify any contemporaneous documentary evidence that members of the OSU coaching staff, including head coaches or assistant coaches, received or were aware of complaints regarding Strauss sexual misconduct." Yet the report also notes that athletes said they openly discussed Strauss' behavior in front of the coaching staff, and 22 coaches "confirmed to the Investigative Team they were aware of rumors and/or complaints about Strauss, dating back to the late 1970s and extending into the mid-1990s." As always, it'll be the cover up that gets him. He should just come clean, said he knew about, and made a huge mistake in not bringing attention to the issue (a mistake shared by many, many people). The story would die within days, move along, nothing to see. Jordan has changed, and has become a political animal. He's become his own biggest fan, total swamp creature. He wasn't like this when he was first elected back in 2006. I think Washington has that effect on people, imo.

I think the thing is that with someone like Jordan (and his political enemies), it might not have happened that way (which still doesn’t make it OK for him to lie). However, I think in some of the stories Jordan did actually do something about it, as did Hellickson who was his boss. So he probably did actually do as much as was expected of him (depending on exactly how much detail he was actually aware of). I mean when the state medical board was aware and did nothing, it’s not really fair to expect an assistant coach to stop it by himself. 1 Alwayswrestling reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes always attack the messenger when you cannot attack the message. They are an easy target. And just what is the message? That Strauss abused student athletes? That is true, so no need to attack that message. That Ohio State should have done something about it? Someone in a position of power, if they knew about it, yes, they should have done something about it. If the message is aimed specifically at Jim Jordan, Perkins Coei can be attacked on that all day long. They are an inherently political machine. Jordan never abused anyone. Jordan was a young assistant who was not much older than some of the athletes. Jordan had no power in this situation relative to others. Yeah, let's attack THAT GUY. Sorry, that doesn't pass the sniff test, especially from the political machine at Perkins Coei.

Guest Martini Report post Posted November 10, 2019 The head coach back then, Russ Hellickson, similarly has said he would have reported any abuse if he had been aware of it. Above from AP article July 20, 2018. Here is what I think. Jordan & Hellickson knew at least something, but did not report it. Sad because it hurt lives. Go ahead and defend them if you want but it does not change the fact that 22 coaches admitted to knowing something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go ahead and defend them if you want but it does not change the fact that 22 coaches admitted to knowing something. Hellickson said in an interview that he confronted Strausse for creeping out the athletes by showering next to them for an hour. Has he ever explained the discrepancy there - that he knew something was happening but that he also never suspected abuse? The new, anonymous referee's federal court claim that he told both Hellickson and Jordan about an incident where Strausse masturbated next to him in those same showers, and that they replied "That's Struasse", certainly advances the narrative that they knew something pervasive was up. My interpretation up until now - and the referee's statement changes this a little - is they they knew something creepy was happening, but creepy and abusive weren't synonymous. I suppose it's the difference between sexual misconduct and sexual abuse, but parsing that difference doesn't account for Jordan's hard-lined denial, which has never made sense to me. He doesn't want to step in it. I wouldn't want to either, but lying about it isn't ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Martini Report post Posted November 10, 2019 Russ quote below from link above. Thanks 103244! So my question to Jordan is why did you not say Russ handled it and that was that? Of course that also does not look good, but it may be what happened. "Certainly all my administrators recognized it was an issue for me,” Hellickson says in the footage. “I’m sure that I talked to them on numerous occasions about my discontent with the environment. I know I had a lot of conversations with Fred Beekman about it. But nothing ever changed.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npope 174 Report post Posted November 10, 2019 If this discussion could get rid of the extreme ideologists on either side then maybe there could be a civil and clear discussion on the matter. I know some people zero in on Jordan's (and others') behavior at that time - arguing they should have done more (or at least something). Personally, I can forgive those (like Hellickson and Jordan) for their lack of significant action at the time - it was after all, a different time with different expectations. Fast forward to the current day, Jordan goes into complete denial as to whether he ever heard ANYTHING about the training room events - while some extreme right wing posters on here try to fashion a defense for those denials, that is simply wrong; lies are being spewed. I agree with Denger (and others above) that if Jordan simply would have owned it to begin with and acknowledged that he made a mistake at that time and that his bosses similarly missed the boat on the problem then this would have been last year's news already. Yes, some deep red poster will now jump up and say that the liberals would not have left Jordan alone on the point, and who really knows - but it would seem pretty small potatoes compared to all of the other garbage being spewn about - some many better stories to go after if you want to make somebody look bad politically. I am sure that behind closed doors Jordan is telling his inner circle "Geeezzz, I should have just owned up to it at the start and this would all have been long gone by now." And this is coming from a former UW wrestler - Hellickson was my coach; the Jordans came through a few years later, but they left a great footprint on the Wisconsin scene. I still love them for what they did here as wrestlers. But geeeez, quit trying to make excuses for Jim's political miscalculation on this issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very practical, safe, reliable, effective, ammo is cheap to practice with. ...keep in mind you have to follow the same state capacity regulations as everyone else. Necessary? No not necessary for hunting,but you could say that about any of deer rounds, but uses the same ammo as a couple others i have. Maybe bit of a novelty, conversation piece...but also realize thats up for political debate. Certainly there are other choices in which I also use that are less scary to people. Very popular though among predator control guys. Really not any different than some of the most popular ones used for generations. 1 GockeS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
