Tennessee Sexual Assault Cases

   Recently the college of Tennessee, where NFL quarterback Peyton Manning attended, has had many sexual assault cases arise. From Peyton Manning's very own court case being under review to many other athletes, like A.J. Johnson and Michael Williams, are being accused of sexually assaulting someone as recent as the 2015 season. Tennessee is known for their great football program, winning many conference and national championships in the past. The head football coach Butch Jones defends his program and the way he regulates his players on and off the field. He makes claims that seem very beneficial to the other students but has pinning allegations against him. For example, him telling a former Volunteers player that he "betrayed the team" by helping a woman who said she was sexually assaulted by two of his teammates. If this incident is proved true the coach clearly favors his players and solely cares about winning football games. His true intentions are not to control his players off the field, it is simply for them to run fast and hit hard on the actual field. If the university of Tennessee wants to see their program thrive for greater achievements they need to take control of their players and fire Butch Jones for not successfully protecting the universities very own image. The university of Tennessee has been in 51 bowl appearances and have a total of 28 bowl victories. Butch Jones will defame the university of Tennessee after the transpiring sexual assault cases are processed through court. This is another example of how rape culture has been turning into an epidemic across college universities. Athletes are raping other college students and are still being recognized, or even praised on the field. When the sexual assault cases arise after the athlete's great season, everyone assumes the victims are just trying to absorb the athletes attention. Let it be known that athletes can not be above the law and victims of sexual assault should be supported by the universities and cared for appropriately.
