News *** Conor McGregor Found Civilly Liable for 2018 Sexual Assault MEGA THREAD ***

[Alpha_T83]

The NFLPA DOESN'T generally sue the NFL in these cases because of arbitration agreements, which is true in most of these cases in team sports. That's the only difference- arbitration vs court. The same legal concept holds in terms of the contract language; if it isn't strong and the violation doesn't fit the language, it won't fly. The NFLPA has both won and lost these cases.

Kanye did not lose the future of his money in a general sense, he lost the money that Reebok was going to pay him over the coming year, which would have been in his contract.

Adidas did do something interesting in that they "dropped" the Yeezy brand, but they kept selling it and retained their contract. They just basically tanked the value of the shoes and sold them at a loss, so both Adidas and Kanye lost money. Even to this day, they continue to sell it and even design new shoes (allegedly without Kanye's creative control). It's a bit of a loophole in deals like this, where you are essentially a business partner (Kanye) without real power. If the company controlling your product decides to trash it, "drop you", and sell it at a loss, you are pretty screwed. Your contract just states that you get X portion of the profits, but if the product sells at a loss, you have less recourse available.

With that said, I am surprised Adidas got away with this. Either they have amazing lawyers, or Kanye has terrible lawyers. They did settle their lawsuit privately, although Adidas claimed that no money changed hands. We will never know.

When will you people stop saying that they're married? They're not fucking married! Lol

They've been cohabiting and have children

She can easily lawyer up and get a sizeable chunk, even if it's not 50%

I’m getting mine lasered, then covered up with a Joe Rogan tat

 

[TITS]

Such a sad day for the McCancelled community, I almost want to cry.

 

[Neck&Neck]

... How did people react when Tyson actually got convicted of rape in the 90's? I can only imagine how many murals there was of him worldwide.

Edit: Just wondering since i wasn't around at the time

A lot of people thought Tyson was innocent
Cuz he was dumb as rocks, and was easily manipulated by women
He was like a big tough guy, who was socially stunted and kind of scared of women when he was younger

Adidas actually did not lose in that deal, not in comparison to what would have happened if they kept him on. Kanye is as toxic as they come, and he never rolls anything back or apologizes. I'm sure all parties involved had good lawyers with that kind of money involved; Adidas knew what they were doing when they wrote the contract, which is really what these cases come down to.

She's a fucking dumbass, like seriously. She's almost as bad as he is for condoning his criminal conduct. Enjoy the future agony you'll endure being with Conor, smh. There's no help for some people.

I know. Just as a fellow woman especially but human too... whether he's your man, you love him or not... like, if my fucking father did that - and I saw some woman who had been battered n bruised, and he had rammed her tampon up her by raping her, and you sit there n hear the detail and the horror...

I'm sorry. My respect for fkn humanity goes beyond friends or family. I would be like 'fuck you dad', turn the cunt in myself.

Yet she's like 'I BELIEVE HIM', she literally stopped him/caught him in the act of yanking some fucking chick by the hair the other week. There's also vid of him like looking maniacal bout to punch a dude, coked up, but his face looks like... like some insane inner psychotic rage he almost can't control... given all the accusations, the sleaze, his behaviour, it's quite obvious he's a fucking angry little psycho when coked up / drank especially, perhaps mainly, who just cannot control himself. And in condoning him you're just allowing him to rape or abuse other women.

Hope to fuck someone has the fucking evidence to put this prick in jail sooner rather than later.

They already had it. But the cowardly shithouse DDPs declined to prosecute. They're as complicit here.

 

[Chaotic Progressor]

Mcgregor supporters forget this happened in the same year Mcgregor intentionally flew to NYC to attack a fellow UFC fighter at a press conference. Four months after this rape allegation he punched some old man in the head for refusing whiskey in a pub.

Exactly. And that incident in the pub goes to show his character and ego... he punched the guy bc his ego couldn't take the fact of the guy rejecting him...

Sound familiar?

So when fkn morons are like 'why would he rape he can get any woman he wants!' as if that's why ANY rapist rapes anyway... you don't think if he was in a hotel room and tryna feel up on a chick and she slapped him or rejected him - coked up, drunk, alone in a room... he punched that guy out in the open for refusing a drink... he's not gonna attack some woman for refusing his advances? His fucking ego could not handle it. He 100% did this.

Also sick of hearing guys say shit like 'why would she go to the hotel room', 'she knew what bla bla bla' as if no women ever go to hotel rooms for anything other than sex. Any cock that says that... have you ever been with women, or partying... women do that shit all the time, not every time they go to a hotel room when you're fkn drinking or partying do they intend to fuck you. Thas just the male ego again, presumption, bc thas what YOU intend to do lmao.

She was partying n drinking n doing coke with a famous guy, ofc she go gonna back. And prolly just think they party more and if he tries it on, perhaps he won't respond by violently raping her.

 

[StewDogg11]

He's almost certainly never going to fight again, unless it's like a boxing match with Jake Paul when he's finally broke, or something.

Why? An actual criminal rape conviction didn’t stop Mike Tyson from fighting again. Deshaun Watson is still in the NFL.

 

[SuperAlly]

nm.

 

[StewDogg11]

When was the last punch out game that came out check that vs when he went to jail.
my point is civil suits hardly get to the facts deep enough and are more wrong then criminal courts. Criminal courts also get it wrong, I won't be surprised if this gets overturned. People are automatically 100% assuming its all true he raped someone, he could have but to talk about it as absolution is intellectually dishonest.

But their are people who believe in flat earth, why would someone who can hookup with just about anyone he wants do something that stupid? it does happen but its rare and this appears to be just a money grab. Reminds me of Kobe Bryant case,

That’s not true at all regarding Kobe Bryant. The DA decided to drop the case because the victim didn’t want to testify because she was tired of being harassed and receiving death threats from Kobe stans. The details of the civil case are pretty damning.

 

[whocares]

These people taking their Connie posters down are the same ones who poured their proper 12 in the turlets. They'll be back

 

[TITS]

Looks like Conor has public support from Candace Owens:

 

[Söze Aldo]

The guys who bought Proper 12 could be properly in the shit here - what would be really interesting is if they could have any grounds to sue Conor for the damage his conduct has done to the brand

The brand is essentially worthless now. By keeping the name, it's now associated with a rapist.

If there was some sort of "morality clause" on the sales agreement they may have an argument to pursue. The agreement allowed for their continued use of Conor's image in marketing.

 

[Mind Mine]

The media did turn on Tyson.

But people generally are easier with him now as he just had life shit that snowballed

-A little mentally off
-Bad upbringing in the rough era Brooklyn
-Spent youth in prison
-MJ and MJ level fame in his teens
-Cus died
-Leeches got him living the degen lifestyle
-Golddiggers fucked him over

All that shit happened in his early 20s.

Whereas Connor is pushing 40 and grew up in a decent family.

If Cus didn't find Mike, he'd have become a violent career criminal doing a life sentence or murdered on the streets.

Respectfully let’s not attempt comparing the situations because unless you were around for both you are saying things lacking context. Tyson wasn’t viewed the same because he absolutely could have brutalized that woman and she had no serious injury after leaving the hotel of the HW champ late night. Also Tyson’s status FAR exceeded anything Conor brought to the table. Conor had an exciting little many run. Tyson struck terror in America for being an AUTHENTIC street dude. America was waiting for some weird case to come down on Tyson. He was truly so far ahead of anything the world had seen all in our living rooms that when the situation occurred and nobody apparently was hirt the world either cried BS, or cried Mike’s an animal who goes to his hotel room like that? Conor caused severe injury. Basically not comparable AT ALL

 

[Poirierfan]

They've been cohabiting and have children

She can easily lawyer up and get a sizeable chunk, even if it's not 50%

I know that, but people need to stop staying they married. Lol

 

[JBJ was here]

Also sick of hearing guys say shit like 'why would she go to the hotel room', 'she knew what bla bla bla' as if no women ever go to hotel rooms for anything other than sex.

Beyond that, people change their minds about wanting to have sex all the time, and drunken decisions to go to a stranger's hotel room for sex are particularly likely to be changed given the chance. So what if she went there for sex? She clearly didn't consent to the sex that actually happened. She didn't consent to being thoroughly battered and having a tampon forcibly embedded into her cervix.

When Conor was busy talking at trial about how they had athletic, gratifying sex in a variety of positions he was very clearly actually saying "I was coked out of my mind and don't remember a thing that happened." His testimony was the epitome of generic self-congratulations, failing to invoke anything resembling a description of something that actually happened. His testimony about her consent is completely worthless because there's no chance at all that he even remembers having sex.

 

[WhiteMousse]

Yeah, the fact Conor waited SO long to propose and is now waiting so long to actually get married to says everything...

I don't believe he loves anyone but himself. He's just calculated through and through. A sociopath.

He doesn't strike me as a sociopath. He doesn't appear to be calculated or organized. He's just scum

 

[JBJ was here]

He doesn't strike me as a sociopath. He doesn't appear to be calculated or organized. He's just scum

Conor isn't a sociopath; he's just the guy who once a month spends a week doing more cocaine than appears in the movie Scarface while going on a crush kill destroy rampage that he doesn't even remember when he sobers up, then spends the rest of the month getting butthurt about all the people "lying" about what he did while coked to the gills.

 

[Poirierfan]

insane inner psychotic rage he almost can't control.

This is the precise reason that women jumped from his boat and broke her arm. Apparently he went psycho on her and was beating the shit out of her. And to top it off, supposedly they both grew up in the same neighborhood and knew each other growing up. Smh.
