I think you're both entrenched and trying to argue absolutes.
I had a professor refer to it as 'leading with your chin' and it's typically an awful way to write (or debate or whatever). I'm still not great about avoiding it but I'm orders of magnitude better than I used to be.
I think ultimately it's a clear "little for Column A, little from Column B" scenario. Now argue in the degrees if you want; keystrokes are free.
But I think before people knew a single thing about any of this, they saw "Chiefs WR Rice" and got the long knives out. Then they got the video and it was blood in the water (why, I do not know).
When I read the rumors about whats his dick - that little WR for the Ravens that the idiot around here thinks is a God - as soon as I saw "Raves Wide Reciever..." in the headline, I was rooting for something awful to befall him. Because I want things to go poorly for the Ravens. And if there'd have been ANY video of it at all, I'd have said "See! The league needs to ban him for a season!" Because again...reasons. And now that it's seemingly gone away, I'm annoyed at the NFL for not ban-hammering a key rival of ours.
Some of it's rational. Most of it isn't. It's mostly based on being a fan. And ask anyone who's super pissed at Rice right now what they think about literally any other hit and run accident that's taken place in Dallas since. Or Texas. Or anywhere in the United States at all that didn't involve them. They have no opinion at all. Shit man, WE only care because it's a Chief.
None of it seems super-complicated to me.
