I have never heard of Columbus, GA or the River Dragons but good for them and their players for taking out the trash

Isn’t this the fourth team he’s signed with? Why do they keep signing him when they know they’ll get backlash for it? I genuinely don’t get it.

What is the matter with these teams?
At this level, getting fans in the door is way more important than the actual wins or losses. Feels like signing this guy isn’t worth it no matter his talent.

Weird. I thought the US was ok with rapists…
Or is that like your guns? only reserved for school children?

Players policing themselves. Owners sure aren’t.

Daaaamn. Maybe he shouldn’t have violently raped a 16 year old in a bathroom and he’d be able to play!

Obviously what he did was horrible and he is a terrible person, it this just makes the FPHL look like a total clown show. They approve the contract and then suspend him without him doing anything during the game.

Incoming his wife crying in Instagram again how his rapist husband is a victim and misunderstood

The fact that a convicted rapist hasn’t been blacklisted from so much as thinking about signing with a team at any level is absolute bullshit. Forget minor leagues, I wouldn’t want him within even a few good kilometres of a beer league

Why do teams even keep trying to sign this human shit stain at this point?

River dragons fan here, born and raised in Columbus!
I was at the game last night, I found out right after that he was a rapist. Our fans and players were on him and calling him things all night. I’m not sure the whole back story but it makes sense now.

He needs to give up and work the job he’s meant for. Unclogging blockages at the waste treatment facility.

How does this guy keep convincing teams to sign him? It’s been like 4 times that a team has signed him, gotten insane backlash and had to release him and apologize a day later

Columbus refers to the Columbus River Dragons from Columbus, GA.
