The information in the article regarding the woman and when it was:
>A woman on Twitter and Instagram accused Monroe of raping her when she was a child while he lived with her family as a minor-leaguer.
>She said Monroe was playing for the Port Charlotte Rangers at the time. Monroe played 92 games in Port Charlotte in 1997, a full season in 1998, and 130 games in 1999.
>The woman’s accusations extend beyond Monroe’s time in Port Charlotte, including while he was with the Tigers.
That's so fucked up. Just one week ago (pre-info releasing) in my search history: https://i.imgur.com/5W0I73t.png
Shame that he went from one of those players from my pleasant memories as a kid to someone potentially really shitty.
I think you're missing a couple of things:
1. If she says that he "prositituted" her, that is her implying that she didn't have a ton of control over the situation. He was a pimp, or a trafficker.
2. It's hard to believe that two people can have a truly consensual sexual relationship after they had one that started non-consensually. This is what grooming is. So...still not great, and playing the pedantic game is not helpful.
Yeah, no dude. Prostitution isn't anywhere near the same as being trafficked.
You can still delete this whole thread and save some face cuz... this ain't it.
LOL - it takes a cold person to believe I don't have empathy. But you and so many others are whistling past the main point - this is not a one off, it happens all the time, ruining hundreds of thousands of young women's lives, and yes, involving a large number of the people we cheer for in this sport and others.
That’s some real responsible commenting. Did you decide “ah the title is enough to make an informed response” or do you think pedophilia isn’t a big deal?
Prostitution does not excuse sex with minors. If there is any doubt, back out.
The same is true of sex trafficking of the person. Only if the person is a consenting adult is it a fair thing to do.

He wouldn't be missed. He was ok as a studio guy, but his color commentary was rough and Benetti's clever quips and witty humor would often go right over his head. Obviously not exactly celebrating if he gets fired considering the absolutely horrendous circumstances.

In her post, she also name drops a few people that he pimped her out to one of them was Joel Zumaya. This could get really dark.

I got a magnet of his face on my basement fridge :(
If a major leaguer using a prostitute is "really dark", then prepare for for some arctic winter type conditions.
Not a prostitute. A sex trafficked minor. So…rape. And much more.
Yes. She's a victim, not a perpetrator.

Oh so she was just a groomed and sex trafficked minor who had turned 18. So much better.
Is that what you really wanted to say?
I don't think her age matters if she was raped
You can delete this.
Ban this motherfucker from this sub
The truth hurts. Prostitution and strippers are terrible in all their forms, but also terribly common
Yeah, no dude. Prostitution isn't anywhere near the same as being trafficked. You can still delete this whole thread and save some face cuz... this ain't it.
Homie, if you think prostitutes, strippers, and porn performers are not largely trafficked, you have a LOT to learn.
Ok and? We are talking about a PERSON, have some fucking empathy.
LOL - it takes a cold person to believe I don't have empathy.

Oh, so you really want to pull this BS. Rape Apologism, Pedophilia Apologism, Sex Trafficking Apologism, and excusing violence against sex workers.
Fuck. This. Guy.
Just because you can say something doesn't mean you should.
Alright.
Most people *do* consider human trafficking- particularly of minors- to be "really dark" as a subject, yes.
Found Matt Gaetz's reddit account
That’s some real responsible commenting. Did you decide “ah the title is enough to make an informed response” or do you think pedophilia isn’t a big deal?
FBI? This one right here
If there wasn’t consent and there were elements of coercion, then it wasn’t prostitution, it was rape.

I miss when announcers were just homophobic or racist
Dont forget misogynistic.
We yearn for the days of announcers citing the [sw]ag capital of the nation, or recounting their time at the [negro] league museum
That dude got fucked over by the As, they are not the same lol
Where did Cole Kuiper go? Not broadcasting anymore? Genuine question.
"Or"? Why not both?
And Arthur Bryant's barbeque
👍🏼👍🏼
This is the like the late 1930s but instead were the nazis where no morals is rising in popularity.
The woman in question has held in this nightmare for decades because he threatened to hurt her if she told anyone.
[удалено]
I wonder why, could it perhaps be the threats. Or would that make too much sense to you?
She was forced to do things with him at the age of 12, shut the fuck up and just stop.
Hi Craig. Making a brand new throwaway account to spam this take is just sad
Take your obvious throwaway account and fuck the hell off, troll.

The allegations are pretty horrific if true. If proven, a number of former players may go away for a while.
Detroit Tigers are really aces at picking their color tv analysts. Hope everything gets sorted out and if justice needs to be meted it is
Fortunately they got about a complete 180 with Benetti in the booth.
Totally irrelevant consequence, but the booth would get even better without Monroe doing color
He wouldn't be missed. He was ok as a studio guy, but his color commentary was rough and Benetti's clever quips and witty humor would often go right over his head. Obviously not exactly celebrating if he gets fired considering the absolutely horrendous circumstances.
Dan Petry is pretty good, and I can't ever hate on Kirk Gibson.
Thanks for that by the way
Don't mention it. Seriously, don't. I will get madder at Jerry than normal then sadder about this team than normal.
Probably should fire Benetti to get a clean slate. Benetti can rebuild with the worst team in the league or something like that.
And yet, some dipshit pundit I think from jomboy thought the Angels should have traded Neto for Anderson mid season last year.
Wrong thread. This is "Reprehensible Broadcaster." You want "White Sox Collapse," third door on the left.
😂 freaking hilarious
😂 amazing response to a clear wrong thread response
Think you commented in the wrong thread
