It happened with Marcus Smart when there was evidence it CLEARLY didn't happen. It happened with the OU football player when there was evidence it didn't happen. It happened with Kareem Hunt, which may or may not have happened but it was very questionable based on the events we know about.
Nobody knows for sure about anything, I'll acknowledge that, but it seems quite convenient. If Rudolph did indeed not same that, he certainly has EVERY RIGHT to sue for defamation. In fact, not doing so may be irresponsible in this social climate with things like this happening on both sides. The same people that claim "a black guy did it", deserve the same fate.

It incentivizes the plague that is frivolous lawsuits that overcome this country’s legal system. I’m sorry but Mason Rudolph can’t claim it ruined his marketability, his play destroyed that and the defense could easily point that out. I don’t think it would be a win for him and his pride will be left scarred twice. I kinda hope it happens because then the NFL will have to release the audio recordings of the mic’d players. But let’s not pretend like the accusation ruined his sterling reputation, it’s just a word that he can easily deny. Masons lawyers gave him the warning so if he does it from now on then go at it, but i have no sympathy for Mason being called a mean name.
