Analysis:
This article was an accumulation of evidence and past claims put together to tell the first part of they rape accusation. This article was published October 22 and was very clear and detailed on things that the author was certain about. The #metoo movement has been sweeping the nation and leaving people stunned to the realization of how many people have claimed to be assaulted. This case adds to the movement and was my only source of prior knowledge. This relates to all the previous accusations of rape, molestation, and sexual assault in America which again raises the question of who to trust in the matter. The author felt it was necessary to mention his accomplishments since the claim to let the audience decide on whether they are calling his sports team out or support his success. Nowadays people have to be careful and watch there surroundings to not be assaulted so I appreciate people raising awareness to help others.
