Oh...you mean like the "better" way like Coach Meyer apology to CS and then get twisted by McShitty that is a confirmation that CS was right all along?? You are not in Zach's shoes, and better be thankful for that, so don't act like you would be calm in that situation.

Dude. Chill. You seem to be overly emotional about this. What gives?

Oh...like bowing down to the mob mentality the way they portray OSU?? That's funny, many of you here criticize Drake for doing just that.

I haven't been critical of Drake for a damned thing, so take that fight up with someone else.

I mean seriously....what I'm saying is that acting like a crazy person makes you look like a fucking crazy person. It's not a particularly difficult concept.

Do you seriously believe he is helping his cause right now? How many people are going to see these tweets and think, "yeah, that guy seems totally level-headed and would never ever lay a finger on his wife." So, assuming this doesn't help his cause at all, what is the fucking point?

The point is, you are not in ZS' shoes nor have a clue what it is like to be accused of something this magnitude, so don't act like you didn't ever throw a fit at much less.

Yeah, and? I absolutely understand his anger but regardless of how I would act in his situation, it doesn't change the fact that his particular course of action is most definitely not a good idea.

Tell Zach to shut the fuck up is a good way to express your sympathy to what he and his kids are going through? May be you didn't say that, but go back and look at my posts.

Nah man. I support Zach defending himself intelligently, just not with wild abandonment. He has the right to be pissed off about false allegations

Crazy to defend your honor and your kids being teased by other kids?? Yep, I am that crazy person. Remember the next time you throw a fit.

This is what bothers me in this- even Ohio State fans accept that he “slapped around” or “repeatedly beat” his wife.

I re-watched the video- nowhere has Courtney even alleged that.

In 2009 the allegation is that he grabbed her shirt and threw her against a wall. In 2015 the allegation is that he grabbed her neck and threw her against a wall, and in a separate incident grabbed her neck and threw her on the floor, and that he put his hands around her neck frequently.

Now, while we all can recognize that this is abuse and illegal (if true and not just a one sided, the-worst-I-can-spin-this description of physical altercations she initiated), I also think it is a gross mischaracterization to call it “beating” or “slapping around.”

I also think the accusation (and pictures) are in line with how everyone else characterized the incidents- Courtney Smith initiates a physical confrontation that Zach Smith has to remove himself from.

I rewatched the video interview and noted two things- first Courtney Smith specifically says that Zach Smith hasn’t touched her since 2015. Second, in her description of the 2009 incident, she said she drove the other girl home and when she got back back Zach Smith was in bed, and obviously she didn’t want him in her bed.

It sure sounds to me like even in 2009 she initiated the physical conflict by trying to remove him from their bed (presumably while he was sleeping).

So, long story short, even if the allegation of abuse is substantiated, nowhere does Courtney Smith (as far as I can tell) even accuse Zach Smith of hitting or slapping her... and yet a huge majority of people use phrases like “beat” and “slapped around.”

It might be semantics, but I think there is a substantial difference between what is even alleged and that false characterization.

I do too...but telling him to shut the fuck up is not exactly supporting. That is what started me on this.

I think I've done a relatively decent job setting forth my position on this, and my advise to Zach would also be the shut the fuck up. I know he's hurting, it's precisely why he's lashed out like this today. But, after all that is said and done, life continues on and there are consequences. Which is to say, I think maybe you took the original "shut the fuck up" as a "you're a liar and a fucker, so shut your mouth" to Zach, rather than a piece of free advice. Now, I don't know how the OP intended it, but I can say, again, if I was Zach's attorney, friend, or relative, I would have been on the phone trying to save him from himself in this. Like they say, nothing good happens after midnight... well... nothing good comes of a twitter rant, is all.
