Their souls are safe?

A quick update on the rape allegations Philadelphia Soul players were facing: They’re back on the practice field, the general manager says he’s not anticipating any charges and everything is all hunky-dory, thank you very much.

Why, that is? According to NBC 10, now the Kansas City police are looking for two men unaffiliated with the team, while the team says the players are witnesses, not suspects. All the Soul’s players questioned did provide DNA samples for the police.

Everything is vague, but if the Soul players are witnesses, then they either (a) saw a rape taking place and didn’t try to stop it or (b) were at a bar, left, and then other men came in pretending to be members of the Philadelphia Soul. Or perhaps (c), some other scenario.

Anyway, the Soul appear to no longer be suspects, at least according to NBC 10. And Jon Bon Jovi is spared a PR debacle that would threaten to ruin his career as an arena league football team owner. I guess he would have had something to fall back on, though.
