With Wentz, I suspect that there was some sort of mental issue that resulted from the injury. Maybe some sort of fear of getting hurt again that impacted his reaction times and decision making. A torn ACL hurts like a motherfucker and depending on someone's pain tolerance, it could easily cause some sort of anxiety disorder. There are plenty of supremely talented athletes that struggle due to something mental rather than physical (Ben Simmons in the NBA is another example)

There is something about watching a one-legged man compete with some of the best in the world that is compelling. And he is practically a one-legged man.

Yeah, that is what I meant by "doesn't exactly come out of it looking great".

As far as finding the details disturbing, the saying goes "Don't kink shame". People are into different things. Just because he is into the roleplay of it doesn't necessarily mean that he wants to do anything that is non-consensual. People are complicated and just because we might not understand it doesn't mean that it is anything "wrong".

Yeah, it was an incredibly odd situation. Bauer and the woman had a consensual sexual relationship, which included a component of rough sex. I believe there were text messages where she had explicitly consented to things like choking and slapping. I think she also admitted that. Additionally, the allegations hinged on something that was claimed to have occurred during the first of two encounters. So, after he had supposedly sexually assaulted her, she continued contacting him and met up with him again for another encounter with rough sex. I also think she had taken a smiling selfie of herself in bed with him the morning after the supposed assault.

Bauer doesn't exactly come out of it looking great. Given the agreed upon facts, it isn't unreasonable to believe that he may have actually assaulted the woman. However, it is also reasonable to question the woman's allegations. Her motives are questionable given the timeline and the fact that she had gone back to see him again after the supposed assault. I wouldn't blame anyone for choosing to believe either one of them or neither of them or both of them. It is entirely possible that Bauer genuinely believed that she consented, or she had genuinely given consent but then it got out of hand and she regretted it but didn't verbalize revoking consent. They are probably the only two people that actually know what really happened.

I feel like Magnus is reasonably justified regardless. He might not have actual proof of Hans cheating OTB, but he probably was reasonably aware of the repeated cheating online. And then he played a game against Hans OTB where Hans made some strange moves that seem more like engine moves rather than human moves(given Hans rating). I feel like that was enough to create a situation where Magnus is reasonably justified in pulling out of that tournament. Even if he can't prove what happened in the OTB game and even if Hans wasn't actually cheating in the OTB game, I don't blame Magnus for not wanting to play against Hans. He is already suspicious of Hans going into the match given the online history, and then had a weird match OTB...
