Bo's name should be removed from all athletic facilities immediately and the statue needs to come down.
Immediately upon accusation, rather than as the result of an investigation?

Methinks, Mark, you would not wish to have sentence executed upon you without due process.
We aren't talking about a legal sentence and due process isn't the issue. The problem is a PR one. It's not a good look to still have a shrine to Bo.

Well stated, Steve B.

I believe the accusers. The preponderance of evidence weighs in favor of the accusers. I doubt grown men who are largely in their 50s and 60s and appear to have led successful lives professionally would lie about something like this.

The statue needs to come down immediately. Look, if he is somehow exonerated (extremely unlikely), then the statue can be returned.

In general, perhaps we should stop deifying celebrities, athletes and coaches.

Seconded. They aren’t actually any different than the rest of us and sometimes they are lousier in every way possible.

I recall once reading that in the early days of professional baseball that society considered the players to be of questionable reputation. Perhaps they were on to something.
