    Fail! No one is putting ALL of this on Gym Jordan, the doctor is primarily to blame but much like the Pedo State assistant coach he is complicit. Didn’t that guy go to jail?

    I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. That the Ohio State scandal is not a real issue, that it didn't happen?

    You didn't read it did you.

    Over 50 kids testified that it was happening and that the coaches knew. But you can carry the creeps water if you want. He will always be Gym Jordan to everyone who cares about protecting kids from sexual predators.

    Wrestling abuse dogged Jim Jordan’s House speaker run. A new film could be a ‘game changer’ (msn.com)

    Amajor documentary on the Ohio State University (OSU) sexual abuse scandal that is expected to renew attention on then-OSU coach and now Republican Congressman Jim Jordan is currently in the middle of production. The untitled Max (HBO) film, produced by George Clooney and directed by Academy Award-winner Eva Orner, will tell the story of decades of abuse by former OSU sports doctor Richard Strauss through the eyes of victims “including All American wrestlers and football players, many of whom have not spoken out until now”, the streaming site said in a statement last year.

    A staffer at Clooney’s production house Smokehouse Pictures told The Independent they were “still thick in production on it”. Attention on the scandal intensified in recent weeks as Jordan began his ill-fated run for House Speaker, only to be cast aside by the same chaotic forces he helped to foster within the party. Mr Jordan has denied any knowledge of the abuse by Strauss, despite numerous witnesses stating they discussed it with him directly.

    Several victims have since gone on record to say that Mr Jordan’s alleged participation in the culture of silence that enabled Strauss’ abuse to go unpunished should have disqualified him from the speakership.
    ...................
    The documentary had been slated for release later this year or possibly early next year, Mr Schyck told The Independent, but that following conversations with Ms Orner, he now understands that the release had been delayed as the filmmakers continued to uncover fresh details. “She says it’s an ever changing thing. New data comes forward every day. They’re waiting for a final product as we all are.”

    So there was a doctor who was raping young boys and men for decades at OSU. This is factual and not open for debate. Jim Jeffords was an assistant wrestling coach, who may or may not have been aware of the abuse. How much benefit of the doubt are you willing to give him.

    Jim the Perv enabler would be more accurate.

    Joe Paterno was aware of having a rapist coach on his team. He is fortunate to have died before his golden reputation was fully tarnished.
