He really doesn't need that. He's at the very least, someone with a tenuous grasp on what consent is/isn't. There's nothing to celebrate here. He's not legally liable for rape. Neither was the Duke LAX team, and I hated watching the media turn them into heroes the next year for the "adversity" they went through. Neither was Patrick Kane and I hated listening to people talking about how good he played "in spite of everything" last year. Now we can look forward to more of the same if Rose manages to go 20 games without getting hurt. Cool.

But fine, Derrick Rose was not liable for rape, even though I thought the details of the case made it seem like he might be. My bad.
