Peyton Manning’s squeaky-clean image was built on lies, as detailed in explosive court documents sho

96. we clearly have several fundamental disagreements

I think that kind of punishment for that kind of crime is far, far too severe, while you say "rightly so" to very harsh punishments. Then you say "Manning lied about the original assault". Yeah, and that would be because even at the time the penalty would have likely been very severe.

Take an example from my own life. One day my supervisor was talking about some missing candy with his supervisor. I happened to be walking by or was part of some other conversation. She said "It was probably taken by somebody who's fat" and reaches over and pokes me in the belly. To me, that rises to about the same level as what Manning did. She did not have permission to touch me like that. Nor is it copacetic for somebody to make disparaging comments about my gut and also accuse me of stealing based on nothing except the opportunity that dozens of people had.

Is that worth making a federal case out of? I certainly did not even try. It wasn't good, but it also was not that big of a deal. I took a whole lot more abuse from that psychotic supervisor, and I did not see any policy that would protect me. There was a policy against sexual harassment, but not against just plain harassment. I sat at home one night dreading going to work and I realized "I am in an abusive relationship. I am being verbally abused every day, and since I need this job, I cannot just walk away from it."

Of course, if you fast forward about three years, this same person, who was now a department head, was threatening to write me up because some whiny little pissant in the IT department had complained about an email I sent him. Apparently it was unprofessional for me to talk about my great great grandfather or something. (and to make a minor joke. I have this problem that I want people to call me Thomas and everybody calls me Tom. I said I am going to start chopping the end off of everybody else's name - that's only fair. So I called him Ad instead of Adam, and that was apparently a serious crime.)

Also, I might note that after her $300,000 settlement, she went on to another high paying job (which apparently got wrecked by the book - which lead to her getting another settlement of who knows how much).
