He was acquitted because there wasn't enough evidence to say that it wasn't consensual. However, there's no denying he was part of running a train on a girl that was throwing up from drinking. Sick, even if not illegal.
According to this, Neal had sex with the girl while she was vomiting in a sink, after drinking eight shots. Not exactly an inspirational decision by the Spurs, in my opinion.

Re: Gary Neal was accused for rape?
Well, it has been a long time since we had a player labeled with this. David Wingate was the last Spur that I can remember.
Strange that the Spurs FO would still sign him as they always seem to steer clear of players with even a hint of bad karma. I guess it was just bound to happen again sometime.
My own personal feelings on that matter is that the Spurs should have not singed him based off this. Fact is that it did happen, either it was consensual or not. It's not Spur like and Spurs don't need that kind of garbage around them, but what do I know. I'm just a fan with an opinion.

We talked about this last week..it turned me off on the guy..it pretty much depends on the person, everybody has different views when it comes to off-court behavior vs. straight basketball..
Everybody knows my stance on 6-24 and his behavior, it's well-known on the NBA internet, so I would feel similar about Neal..while he may not have raped this woman(possible that he did, too), he still ran on a train on a woman while she was puking into a sink, which is disgusting behavior any way you put it..

I will go on record as saying--unless different evidence comes out--that I can never support this guy in a spurs uniform...even if he turns out to be a great player...I will always be against him and conflicted every time he takes the court in a spurs uniform.
I know no one gives a shit about a random spurs fan opinion---but I won't be jumping on this bandwagon and will hope he somehow is off the team soon.

Re: Gary Neal was accused for rape?
I'm quite sure the Spurs did their research on the guy before making him an offer. He's obviously grown and learned from his mistakes. He's lived overseas for several years which I'm sure helped his personal development as a man. I'm not going to pass judgment on him. We've all made mistakes and done things we weren't very proud of. What's he supposed to do? Stop trying to make the best of his life? To me, it's more about what he learned and how he responded to his problems. The fact he's been out of trouble for 5 years is a good sign that he's matured. I'm sure the Spurs FO are convinced.

Actually, I don't think Neal and the other player ever agreed to the girl's version of events regarding throwing up in the sink while they had sex with her. I tried to look into it because it interests me as a legal matter as well as a Spurs matter, but I never could find where it said either way definitively. It does appear from what I can infer that the accusations regarding the girl throwing up while they had sex with her were coming only from the girl's statements/testimony and the prosecutor's opening statement (which also came from the girl's statement). I don't think either player ever corroborated that part of her accusation.
One thing that I found while researching it was that the girl also testified to sitting in the other player's (not Neal) lap just prior to the incident and telling him that she had performed oral sex on yet another Lasalle player. Also, Neal apparently testified as to oral sex being performed on him, which would indicate that she certainly wasn't throwing up the whole time, at least.
The players' version of events was that she did everything willingly, and later regretted it because of the damage to her reputation after word got out, so she falsified the rape accusation. The jury apparently believed that version of events enough to find them not guilty.
I'm conflicted just because of the accusation, but if Neal's version of events is true (and we don't have any reason to believe otherwise), and the girl made up all of the damning accusations (including even the fact that she was throwing up drunk at the time), then can you imagine how much hell he's been through because of this?

Are you one of these drunken people?:lol..
Running a train is just taking turns on a whore..usually it doesn't take place with only 2 guys though, but I guess everybody does it in a different way..the least I've ever seen is 3 guys, and the most I've ever seen is 9 IIRC..it was quite disgusting..
Let's say that we believe him and that he was having consensual sex with her before she was vomiting, continuing the act while the girl is vomiting is disgusting either way..it's not as bad as rape, but come on, she's throwing up..
The fact that he got kicked out of school is relevant IMO..there was definitely something serious going on for him to get kicked out of school, so I tend to believe that he ran a train and the passenger got train sick..
Worst case: They raped this girl..
Best case: They ran a train on her while she was vomiting..
Both cases are disgusting, even if one isn't as bad as the other..

Re: Gary Neal was accused for rape?
So your penis is inside of her, and you see this..
Forcing someone to have sex if they are too drunk to give consent is rape in Pennsylvania. If both the assailant and the victim are drunk, it does not cancel out the fact that it was rape. The victim is never at fault for being raped, regardless of his/her level of intoxication. The responsibility falls squarely with the perpetrator.

There is vomiting and then there is vomiting.
More than likely she took a couple of shots and threw it right back up. Most anyone would throw up if they took 8 shots back to back.
It was in the sink so that does mean something. She was standing over the sink. Typically if you are really really fucked up you are on the floor of the bathroom leaning on the toilet. If you are just needing to puke to keep going thats a completely different thing. Its kinda like the fat guy in Varsity Blues puking in the washer and then getting up better than before.
Anyone who has done a lot of MDMA knows what I am talking about.
The point is that her puking does not mean she was passed out and roofied ready for a dead fish.

Well he was doing it from behind, so he could have easily been holding her up from the waist the entire time while she was vomiting in the sunk, it wouldn't be that difficult..he's 6'4 210, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have any trouble..

two guys and one girl? maybe neal went first, so it wasn't a train until the other guy got with her. i don't know, but there's a 50/50 chance. was he drunk? don't know.
if he was sloshed and she was sloshed and both said yes, which one was too drunk to be consensual, so who raped who?
not saying those things happened, but i don't know they did not. and i certainly don't know the mindset of the jury and i don't know what happened. i'll reserve judgement for when i know more.

Re: Gary Neal was accused for rape?
Tsk...this sounds like bad karma. Either the FO didn't know the whole story or they are just plain desperate. No way you treat women that way, whoever you are.
Gary Neal was spending his second season with Benetton Treviso, and was leading Serie A in scoring with a 19.4 points per game average. I say "was" for a reason; Benetton released Neal last week. They did this because two weeks ago, Neal went out and got absolutely smashed with Armani Jeans Milano guard Alex Acker, and was subsequently too ill to play in Benetton's next game. Benetton did not take too kindly to a play missing a game for this reason, and they took action. Swift and decisive action. (Neal landed on his feet, signing with Unicaja Malaga in Spain's ACB a matter of days later. But Acker was waived by Milano later the same week. Was this partly the reason why? Could not say.)
In Neal's half-arsed defense, the game in question was against Martos Napoli. Napoli's "struggles" this season - if you can call a catastrophic implosion of a sports franchise that - have been well documented on this site before, and if you're not familiar with them then I implore you to read up on them. Benetton didn't need Gary Neal to beat Napoli; they didn't need anybody to beat Napoli. Even without Neal, Benetton won 169 to 29, Napoli's worst defeat thus far in a season full of history-makingly-awful losses. But that's hardly the point. Neal was unprofessional and not able to play, which is not what they were paying him for. The team could have downplayed it so as to not lose arguably their best player. But they didn't. They took a stand for their virtues. So they cut him.
Hedo Turkoglu, Bryan Colangelo and MLSE, take note. This is how it's done.
Oh, boy...so, strike 2 so far? (And thank you, Phila, for the story)

Re: Gary Neal was accused for rape?
With all the star player collusion and team collision in the past the Spurs probably don't care about this kid's past transgressions if he can step on the NBA court and nail 3s when it matters.
I wouldn't care is Bonner gang banged bitches and snorted coke if he would just show some balls and knock down big playoffs shots.

Re: Gary Neal was accused for rape?
I was a pretty bad boy, until I hit the 30's and straightened up. Maybe Neal did it sooner. I spent half my money on bad women, alcohol, and drugs... and wasted the other half. Banging drunk ho's pulling trains and being too drunk to show up for work was a typical weekend. And that is just the legal stuff (for the most part). The other stuff you don't talk about.
You can wake up one day and decide there is another side to life. Maybe Neal has done that. Give him a chance. The FO has.
