Yea, props to Coles for coming forward. This may encourage more people to face their problems or confront someone about him

You the man Coles!!

When i first read about this, i had a similar reaction to a previous poster in saying "thats too much information", but I never thought of the abused children. No matter how many people want to deny it, kids do look up to athletes and things they see on tv. Hell, just the other day i heard this kid say that if he did steroids he would be so much better at football. I'm not going to go into how horrible that is right now, but i dont think there is a need to anyway, it is pretty self explanatory. So if an abused child watches Sportscenter or something else that shows Coles coming out about this, then they will think its the right thing to do. Good move!
