Re: Charges against Reuben Foster dropped

The fact that charges have been dropped does not change the narrative of the poor handling of this situation by the FO.


1. They did not do due diligence and reach out to authorities find the extent of the charges.
2. Lied about the due diligence they performed on Fosters character and made for subsequent awkward denial by their own players of the interaction.
3. Referred to domestic abuse as "small potatoes" and then preceded to apologize to the women of the DMV for the signing.

To me it just shows they don't have their shit together and the fact they might have fallen ass backwards into what might be a good thing doesn't change that.

Yep, they definitely handled the PR side of it as poorly as they could.

And it wasn't that hard either: "We take the issue of domestic violence very seriously and if he's guilty he will never play for us. If we're 100% sure he's innocent then we'll give him a chance to play for us".

Isn’t that pretty much what they said?

It didn’t matter what they said it was going to look bad, the right thing to do was wait until this issue was cleared up and then sign him
