One player already did try this a few years ago. His name is Colin Kaepernick. It really backfired on him , though.

What will be interesting is the texts. It's tough to say he didn't do it when he wrote something about nutting on her back (I don't speak fluent enough millennial-jive to translate the texts in question into standard american english, but that was the gist I got). I'll let the NFL decide whether or not her returning is mitigating or aggravating. I will say this: given the pro-Steeler nature of cops in Western PA, I'm not sure actually calling the cops would've done her much good--because I do believe the average cop would absolutely let a football player in this town get away with rape.. A rape kit probably would've helped, as DNA isn't subject to yinzer-bias.
