Being skeptical about the Peyton Manning sexual assault allegations from nearly 20 years ago does not make you a bad person.
Expressing doubts and withholding judgment about the details of 20-year-old events—as recounted and amended in 15-year-old, one-sided court documents, as summarized and sensationalized last week by a tabloid provocateur—does not make you sexist, racist, reactionary, closed-minded, a victim-blamer or part of the problem.
Skepticism of salacious or incriminating claims actually makes you a better citizen, not a worse one. A little critical thinking makes you a better voter and a better juror.
