Story does say at their house and not specifically by them so it's unclear where this is going at this point.

Their best receiver lives there also.

I like you BBC, but this seems really irresponsible and inflammatory for you to post this in this manner. Making a declarative statement as the title and then tucking in "allegedly" inside the thread is not ok. Nowhere in the article or anywhere else does it say that Tommy Armstrong is the accused or was involved in any way other than that the alleged incident happened at a house that he shares with another person. We already like to pass judgment on people before they're even tried - we don't need to start doing it before someone's even accused.

BTW, not a Husker fan in any way, shape, or form. Perhaps my hackles are up a bit on this due to the whole Patrick Kane situation. He will now have the "rape" stigma attached to him for years even though it certainly appears now that his accuser was - and I'll be charitable here - less than honest about things.

You're right. I thought the headline at first said that the qb was the accused, but the article as it is now doesn't say that anymore. [or maybe it never did]

I'm not able to change the title.

Then delete it. Not sure how it's relevant to gambling

Agree and this is where social media goes off the rails.
