"tests proved that the bite marks were his"

I don't know if this falls under original research, but I feel after watching John Oliver's talk, not withstanding Albert's subsequent confession, can the statement "tests proved that the bite marks were his" really be made?!? --Zaurus (talk) 00:45, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I remember hearing a discussion about this case on a show hosted by Bill Maher someone say that the tests proved that the bite marks were Albert’s quickly followed by, but there were other bite marks found on her that did not belong to Albert. IF true, should that be added to the article?

Remove BLP tags

I am going to remove the blp tags and remove the headings about being ousted from NBC. In addition, probably remove the unsourced note about the Simpsons as it doesn't seem terribly relevant. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 18:20, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Rocksanddirt Why would you have removed his being ousted from NBC, for sexual assault, since it is very relevant to both the Wikipedia article and to Albert's career? It is a highlighted event in both US sports history and US history that a public male personality was accused and convicted of sexual assault. it is also a milestone in US history, that following his conviction, he was able to regain his position as a national figure in sports broadcasting as if nothing had ever happened. And now by your dubious editing, you've removed his fame as a sexual predator to footnote status, by burying mention of it, deep in the article, at the very end, no less. Obviously, you don't want future generations to know anything about Albert's misbehaviors. It certainly renders this article as much more of an editorial entry, then that of an encyclopedic caliber discourse. Stevenmitchell (talk) 02:54, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
