Zero tolerance for ignoring the thread tag... zero tolerance

It's a story that was widely reported, was pretty damaging and was investigated, so I don't even understand how anyone comes to "swept under the rug" rubbish.

Settling through financial payout is the definition of sweeping a problem under a rug. They have literally paid for the problem to go away.

Wtf do you want them to do? They have an investigation, they went to mediation and settled the dispute.

WTF else is there? You don't even know if there was a problem, none of the claims have been proven unless I missed something?

Read the post I was responding to. Then my response.

Now if you want to get involved in that conversation, think about what you disagree with me in context to that.

Your post entirely assumes Kelly was fully in the wrong and Cleaver's claims are 100% true.

That's not possible to be known, so I reckon you probably need to dial back the "swept under the rug" claims.

Out of court settlement.

Parties not to discuss details.

So details dont become public knowledge.

I.e details hidden from public scrutiny. Aka legally swept under carpet.

Mediation and out of court settlements are so commonplace it's not funny, and AFL has no jurisdiction so I'm not even sure of the point here.

I feel like we need to properly define what "swept under the rug/carpet" means generally too. To me, it's suppressing something ever becoming public knowledge. This incident was widely reported and for better or worse, most people have judged Collingwood/Kelly as the guilty party.

What you said is wrong because coming to a resolution in mediation does not prove there was a problem, do you understand now?

There was a problem.
$$$$ has made it go away.

Whether it happened as per the complaints claim is irrelevant. Collingwood paid for it to disappear.
