So yeah, she's kind of important in the world of sports. Lots of girls look up to her.

And in other words, you are declaring that only male football players who get in trouble can be discussed? People who don't watch football have no clue who Jameis Winston is. People who do watch football, do know who he is. Just like anyone who watches soccer knows who Hope Solo is.

And by the way, it was TMZ that broke the Ray Rice video tape scandal.
