They drew the attention of a moral high ground mob willing to turn a blind eye. Life will go on, girls will get hammered and throw themselves at successful men in VIP lounges even tonight. The issues will disappear to the sidelines until the next time.

I could be up to anything within my house but if it's proper ugly and it gets out, people within my circle will start to shun me. PJ and SO live on a bigger stage than I do and have a larger audience to answer to. That's just the way it goes. Isn't there some saying - to him that is given more, more is expected of. They didn't value their own good name. I bet they know the importance of it now when it's too late.

I follow F1 and there are plenty of decent drivers who have to make way to someone inferior with good sponsor backing. Sport is also businesses, they damaged it's reputation with their behaviour (no I don't mean threesome, they can have as many as they want as long as there is a bit of decency in their actions) and became liability. That's all.

It will be interesting to see if a protest movement continues for victims of rape. Or will the noise die down now that the mob has gotten their pound of flesh.
