Peyton Manning named in University of Tennessee sexual assault lawsuit

“Now, Manning is being not only accused of doing an terrible act to a woman and possibly attempting a coverup or smear campaign against her, but a recent report in the Washington Post stated that ‘goons” hired by Manning’s team of investigators visited the house of Charlie Sly (the man who was recorded saying Manning took HGH) and were dressed as police officers.

Super Bowl-winning quarterback Peyton Manning was shining like a Christmas ornament just a week ago when he probably walked off the field for the last time with that elusive Lombardi Trophy.

However, this weekend Manning’s name was brought about as part of a Title IX lawsuit against the University of Tennessee.

“While it is outrageous that the University of Tennessee chose to turn a blind eye to sexual violence by student athletes like Manning, it would be flat-out unacceptable for the National Football League and major companies like Nationwide Insurance and Papa John’s Pizza to continue to stand with Manning in light of emerging evidence”, Chaudhary said in the statement.

Manning claims that he “mooned” Naughright and it was “inappropriate”. Despite criticism and injury, when it came to who was the best quarterback this season, Peyton Manning has a ring to prove it was him. If the University of Tennessee officials did fail to properly investigate sexual assault allegations in a deliberate attempt to protect student athletes, that would make them in violation of the law. The claims resurfaced last week in a lawsuit against the university that claims the athletics department condoned a “hostile sexual environment” towards female students. It includes a sealed document about a mysterious 1994 incident that allegedly triggered Manning having animosity toward the football trainer. After she said no, she looked up to find Manning had lowered his trousers and put his privates in her face.

The Mannings made up a story about Naughright calling other players expletives to corroborate the assertion in the book “Manning” that she “had a vulgar mouth”, and no one who was present corroborated this story under oath.

Again, now we know that the report of ESPN employees being told to back off was completely false, because they made it a huge topic of conversation on one of its most watched shows. The suit also states the university interfered with the disciplinary process to favor male athletes.

As part of the 1997 settlement between Naughright and Tennessee, Naughright agreed to leave the school and both parties agreed not to publicly discuss the incident or case. Get in the comment box and let me know what you think about this alleged “pass” Peyton got from the media.

The suit focuses on five cases that were reported between 2013 and 2015, but it also references incidents involving Tennessee student-athletes dating to 1995.

The more ugly news that comes out regarding Manning will certainly have an impact on his many endorsement deals. Shocked, disgusted, and offended, Naughright pushed Manning away, removing her head out from under him (see pages 14-15). Active NFL players are prohibited from pitching alcohol, so it was widely interpreted that Manning is planning to retire. Networks may be reluctant to hire Manning if those allegations gain further credence and this case is pushed further into the spotlight.
