Disgraced? He's a fucking child molester. That makes it sound like he was a alcoholic or something. He touched kids.
Wikipedia is more accurate “convicted serial child molester”. Why does the media downplay his crimes?
I never heard of him before and thought he was involved with some doping scandal or whatever. Who wrote that headline? Disgusting!
Habitually inserting your fingers into teen girls is a bit more than touching.
The word you’re looking for is rape. He raped girls and women for decades while the institution that employed him (Michigan State University) knew and did nothing.
Why don't people called him a serial rapist? What's with these fucking kid gloves. Serial Rapist Larry Nassar, a former doctor, blah blah blah
Disgraced is appropriate, as he used to be held in high regard as a doctor, but no longer is. The extent of that disgrace and the reason for it doesn't change how appropriate the word is to use.
Agreed, it's an appropriate headline. The lede clarifies why he's disgraced.
If I have to read more than 3 sentences to get outraged you can count me out!
Well good thing the lede was only one sentence, eh?
Yeah, I'd never heard of him and read the title and was like "That seems like a bit much." Then I started reading what happened and wow, that title doesn't even come close to how much of a piece of shit he was.
