One of the best players to ever play the game and a guy who really did revolutionize the way defense is played in the NFL. Has yet again made a terrible decision. Taylor was arrested early Thursday morning at a Rockland Hotel in N.Y. Taylor is accused of beating and raping a 16-year-old prostitute.
The girl is apparently a runaway and somehow got wrapped up with a pimp trying to make ends meet in the Bronx, heard that before? After the girl left the hotel room where she was sent to meet with Taylor, she called her uncle, who then called police and she was taken to the hospital for examinations and injuries sustained from punches to the face.
Taylor,51, will be arraigned Thursday on third degree rape charge,which involves having intercourse with a minor. 51 years old and Taylor is still running around like a low life. Get it together man, at some point you have to grow up, especially with all of the drug problems and run-ins with the law he has had throughout his life.
Taylor won 2 Super Bowls with the New York Giants in '87 and '91. Taylor was also inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1999. It is so tragic to see professional athlete after professional athlete screw up and feel they are entitled to get away with any and everything. It could have something to do with the drugs and alcohol but Taylor has said he has been clean for sometime now. I find that hard to believe. Who in their right mind would pay for a prostitute, realize she was probably too young, and then continue to beat the crap out of her?
This has been an issue for years and will continue on to be a prominent issue in our sports nation. Ben Roethlisberger, Mike Vick, Tank Johnson, Adam "Pacman" Jones, Rae Carruth. The list goes on and on. It also gives sports a bad wrap because nobody ever hears about Drew Brees and Reggie Bush in New Orleans rebuilding houses and giving back millions of dollars to a city that was in ruins at one point and still is in others. That's not front page news, Lawrence Taylor beating and raping a minor is though.
The NFL is going through some very difficult times right now. I guarantee you one thing, none of these incidents in the past few months will make any difference when the NFL season rolls around. You can count on another "top dog" year,with ratings through the roof like always.
The girl that has accused Lawrence Taylor had a bruise on her face before she arrived at the hotel. Police have said that Taylor did not hit her.
