I knew this would be an interesting thread. Animal abuse is a weird one. Withholding judgement until the details come out, Beasley would have been better off mugging an old lady or punting a baby in the court of public opinion.

Do you even VN bro? That’s not how it works. See you cannot wait until all the details come out. If a TN player is even mentioned in an unlawful situation, that player is automatically guilty without question.

If raising money online is your goal, it'd be advisable to lead with the most attention grabbing aspects possible, only a small percentage of people who log onto the internet are Tennessee Vol football fans and may be inclined to try and minimize this kind of thing to protect a backup linebacker (to our credit only few of us like you have gone that route). However, by tying it to Tennessee football she could have made this of interest to alot more people, fans of other SEC teams for starters but football fans and critics in general also. She didn't do any of that though, she left those details which would have helped spread word of her needs out of her GoFundMe. That's a pretty good indicator this isn't the get rich scheme you imply it is, with no evidence whatsoever by the way, Mr. Due Process.

Well, the simplest thing to do for everyone is shut up, pay your vet bill, let the authorities handle it, and seek restitution through appropriate forums. At this point, the alleged victim and perpetrator have just as much right to be questioned or left alone until more is known. It's just which you prefer for now. I will question the beggar first, as I consider running to GoFundMe suspect. Stories develop, though.

I feel sympathy for the brain damaged kitten and it's owner first, regardless of who did it, but fair enough. Let the cops work.

How do we know it was tortured and abused? Itwas most likely just kicked a few times by someone who didn’t want it clawing at his shoes honestly, happens all the time...cats shouldn’t be considered pets

That is a P.O.S. attitude to have toward animal abuse. Batting away an animal is one thing but kicking it until it can’t walk or is permanently injured is a whole different thing. If he did it, it’s inexcusable and he should be kicked off the team ASAP.

Nothing that happens with this team surprises me anymore.

I'm actually pretty numb to this. I feel bad for the kitten, but this is just another symptom of where our society is headed.

If he did it I hope he loses everything he worked so hard for and maybe he learns a lesson or at least gets some help. Because if he did it he definitely need it.

Pruitt was determined to change the culture... looks like he succeeded. How many more stories of misconduct need to appear around our football program?

No football development or character development in the past 3 years.

"UT" = Beasley in your original response. Don't walk away from it now. Go ahead and own it. And by the way, I never said she made up that her kitten was abused. I insinuated that the story may not be accurate as presented for a GoFundMe attempt at obtaining money by tugging at observers' heartstrings. Clearly something happened. I merely insinuated that persons involved and details should be sorted properly first.

Remember when we as a society actually looked at a situation and rationally analyzed it before before reacting emotionally? Those were the days..

feel like rational people are overly rational these days. conversely, emotional people
are waaay overreactive.

Were you dropped on your head as a child? I was pointing out the fact that if she was doing this all as an online scam for money WHY in the hell would she leave out the most attention grabbing aspects of the story? That dog won't hunt man, go back to the smart azz drawing board.

Why does anybody do anything? Explain the Duke Lacrosse story to me and we’ll reconvene afterwards.

My issue was that there is nothing to indicate that the young lady has made up the fact that her cat has been abused for money (whether it's Beasley who did it is another issue). I agree with others that Beasley is entitled to due process. At this point, he hasn't even been charged. I think it's significant, that the young lady didn't name Beasley or say that the perp was a football player either, if she had I think an attention hawking charge might be more plausible. I concur that the cops will sort that out, what I disagree with again is the thought process that she has just made up her cat's injury for money, there's no indication of that as yet. I didn't have the money to pay an emergency vet bill of several thousand dollars when I was 19 either, so I get her asking for help. I would have gone to family at that age but not everybody has someone to turn to. If she is making it all up, she left things out of her request that would have drawn alot more attention to it and likely brought in more money, that omission is a head scratcher. Regardless, if she is writing her own movie script, the vet and the cops should be calling her out shortly.

What would be “indications”? I don’t know anything about her mindset and don’t pretend otherwise. Just waiting for the information to come out and not automatically assuming what’s been leaked is said information. No extra credit for being first to condemn. If he’s guilty? Slam away and I’ll get in that line.

If she had brought the school into it and named him or identified him as a UT football player on her Go Fund Me, that'd be more suspicious to me for the reasons I alluded to a couple of times above, i.e. more eyeballs on the request, more $ potential.

We’re going in a circle. I’ll leave the investigation to the professionals. Til then innocent until...in effect.

If this is true he better be gone. I don’t give a $hit if the charges stick or not. If someone for sure knows it’s true, charges or no charges GONE.

Agree. At this point let’s clean up the locker room and move forward. So sick of the stupidity and delinquent behavior.

For those of you going nuts over this... would you have the same reaction if he had gotten a girl pregnant then pressured her into an abortion?

Again, we don't know what happened. And... it wasn't a human being. I like cats. We have several. They're still cats. They do stupid stuff like take naps on warm engines or tires... play with coyotes... run out into busy streets... and, yeah, scratch the crap out of you when you don't expect it and for doing nothing to it causing you to react without thinking.

I don’t see the abortion analogy. If true, this was dangerous behavior and warrants a severe response. I agree that the whole story needs a complete exploring beforehand.
