8 MORE Of The Most Evil Athletes

Overview

The video is a commentary compiling several pro-athlete cases framed as “evil” or predatory. It emphasizes patterns of abuse, delayed justice, and limited accountability sometimes seen from leagues and teams.

Main cases covered

1) Ben McLemore (NBA) — rape conviction with major delay

• McLemore’s basketball rise: Grew up in severe poverty in St. Louis, became a top college prospect, and was drafted 7th overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2013.
• Career arc: Never fully broke out in Sacramento; revived later in Houston as a 3-point shooter, then played for the Lakers and later the Portland Trail Blazers.
• Crime timeline: On Oct. 3, 2021, he allegedly raped a severely intoxicated 21-year-old woman at a house party in Lake Oswego (days before the Blazers season started).
• Reporting vs. accountability: The woman reportedly worked with detectives and reported quickly, but public/official action took years, leading to criticism about “silence” and optics. The video notes that while she rebuilt her life locally, he lived abroad playing basketball.
• Trial outcome: Convicted by a jury of first-degree rape and felony second-degree sexual abuse.
• Sentencing: Under Oregon’s Measure 11, he received a mandatory minimum with no time off for good behavior: 8 years and 4 months, must serve every day, and will remain incarcerated well into the 2030s; lifetime sex offender registration.
• Defense/appeal: The defense claimed consent. McLemore continues to dispute it and intends to appeal; Oregon appeals are portrayed as slow.

2) Jovan Belcher (NFL) — domestic killing, warnings ignored, CTE context disputed

• Portrayal: A hardworking, respected Kansas City Chiefs linebacker who had earned a starting role.
• Relationship and collapse: His relationship with Cassandra Perkins reportedly deteriorated amid jealousy, money stress, and a new baby.
• Fatal event: On Dec. 1, 2012, Belcher shot Cassandra nine times in their home (with her mother nearby and their infant in the house). He then drove to the Chiefs facility, thanked coaches, told them he killed her, and committed suicide.
• Immediate aftermath controversy: The next day’s Chiefs game proceeded; the stadium held a domestic-violence moment of silence. Discussion continues about why Belcher himself was not included.
• Longer-term accountability debate: Years later, his family pursued civil claims against the team.
• CTE/brain damage: His brain showed damage consistent with CTE, but the video stresses this is not used as an excuse. The victim’s family rejects “victim” reframing toward Belcher.
• Ongoing themes: The story is used to argue warning signs (drinking, memory issues, painkillers) were not acted on until after the tragedy.

3) Felipe Vázquez (MLB) — sexual abuse of a 13-year-old; deportation and lifelong sex offender status

• Portrayal: Elite All-Star reliever; described as a player with team-friendly contract extension potential.
• Arrest and investigation: In Sept. 2019, he was arrested after investigations found extensive explicit material exchanged with a 13-year-old girl known to him online.
• Prosecutors’ claims: He allegedly met the girl in person in 2017 and continued contact afterward; the messaging showed he knew her age.
• Trial outcome: In May 2021, he testified in his own defense, but prosecutors said it collapsed against the evidence.
• Conviction: Convicted on 15 felony counts involving a child (including statutory assault and related offenses).
• Sentence: 2–4 years, but credit for time served meant Pennsylvania effectively finished its criminal handling by 2023.
• Immigration consequences: Due to a child-related felony conviction and his Venezuelan citizenship, he was turned over to ICE and deported to Venezuela; the video portrays that there was “no legal path back.”
• MLB consequences: Placed on the MLB restricted list; the Pirates removed his branding and moved on.
• Civil suit: The victim won a federal civil judgment for over $11 million in 2023; enforcement was difficult due to his location abroad.
• Current status in the video: Reportedly resumed professional baseball in Venezuela under a changed name (“Rivero”), with lifelong sex offender status.

4) Mel Hall (MLB) — long-term child sexual abuse; decades-long punishment

• Career: Cubs (debut in 1981), notable early performance, then Cleveland and New York Yankees; later Japan and then coaching/AAU work.
• Key alleged pattern shift: After leaving MLB, he allegedly used his coaching role and access to families to prey on young girls.
• Crime timeline: In 1998, he fixated on a 12-year-old on an AAU team and allegedly gained trust with her parents before sexually assaulting her over months in private circumstances, including his car and moments arranged through alone-time access.
• Discovery and prosecution: The victim reported as an adult in her 20s (arrest in June 2007). Investigators reportedly found a second victim.
• Trial and sentencing: In 2009, convicted on multiple counts (including aggravated assault of a child) and sentenced to 45 years in Texas state prison.
• Parole timing: The video says Texas rules require at least half the sentence before parole eligibility, placing a first hearing around 2031. He remains imprisoned and has not admitted wrongdoing.

5) Kellen Winslow Jr. (NFL) — sexual predation across multiple vulnerable victims; maximum sentence under plea

• Background: Former high-achieving tight end (Browns draft pick), marked by injuries yet still a major football star.
• Retirement-to-crime transition: By 2018 after retirement, local reports emerged of an SUV driver targeting vulnerable women (described as homeless, older, or alone).
• Alleged crimes: Multiple incidents including:
  • Rape of a 54-year-old hitchhiker
  • Rape of a 58-year-old homeless woman after offering a ride and coffee
  • Exposure/other lewd conduct
  • Alleged home intrusions near an RV park (some charges reportedly deadlocked)
• Additional alleged conduct during trial: While out on $2 million bail during jury selection, he allegedly committed a lewd act at a gym involving a 77-year-old woman, leading to bail revocation.
• Convictions and plea: Convicted on key counts; faced retrial risk and took a plea for additional crimes, including a rape from 2003 when he was 19.
• Sentence and judge’s stance: In March 2021, he received 14 years (maximum under plea agreement). The judge reportedly called him a sexual predator and said his victims were chosen for their vulnerability.
• Ongoing legal efforts: Continued petitions to reduce his sentence (arguing brain damage/trauma). The video says appeals courts denied them. He is portrayed as in protective custody and slated for release later this decade.

6) Darren Sharper (NFL) — drugging women with sedatives; 18+ years federal sentence

• Career: A celebrated NFL safety known for interceptions and analyst/role-model image; the video emphasizes hypocrisy.
• Allegations and method: From about 2013 into early 2014, Sharper allegedly drugged women in bars/clubs using sedatives (sometimes with other drugs), leading to blackouts and assaults while victims were unconscious.
• Multi-state pattern and associates: Victims across multiple cities/states; in Louisiana, associates were convicted too.
• Discovery and prosecution: Victims went to police after waking impaired; detectives linked cases via consistent “MO.” Federal prosecutors tied him to up to 16 victims.
• Plea and sentencing dispute: An initial global plea suggested around nine years, but a judge rejected it as too lenient and imposed 18 years and 4 months, with lifetime sex offender registration.
• Post-sentencing: Attempts to withdraw the plea or reduce the sentence (including traumatic brain injury arguments) were denied. As of the video’s date, he is transferred to a halfway house with release projected for late 2028.

7) Bruno Fernandes (Brazil; football goalkeeper) — murder/cover-up tied to denied paternity

• Popularity and rise: Flamengo goalkeeper/captain; Brazilian league title in 2009; national-team/world-cup speculation.
• Relationship and conflict: Described as having an affair and denying paternity after a woman (Eliza Samudio) claimed their child.
• Accusations: Eliza reported that she was held against her will and forcibly given abortion drugs by Bruno and associates.
• Disappearance and murder narrative: After reporting escalated, Eliza disappeared. Testimony (including from a teenage cousin) described her being held at Bruno’s ranch, ordered killed, strangled, dismembered, and fed to dogs.
• Trial outcome: Bruno was convicted for ordering the murder and other crimes like kidnapping/concealment; sentence described as 22 years and 3 months.
• Release controversy: The Supreme Court released him early on a technicality; later reversed. The video emphasizes that Brazilian sentencing rules allowed him to progress to a semi-open regime and continue playing in lower-division clubs while still serving time.
• Current framing: The victim’s mother protests. The child (previously denied) is now a teenager; DNA confirmed Bruno was the father.

8) Sergio Mitre (MLB; later Mexico) — 50-year sentence for killing a toddler

• Career summary: MLB player for Cubs, then Florida (Marlins), and time with Yankees; later long career in Mexican leagues.
• Crime timeline: In July 2020, a toddler (Inez) left in his care was taken to hospital already beyond saving. Autopsy indicated she suffered beaten/assault injuries inflicted while alone with him.
• Flight and arrest: He fled but was tracked down about a week later.
• Charge and conviction: Prosecutors charged him under Mexico’s aggravated femicide law; he was held throughout proceedings and convicted in early 2022.
• Sentence: 50 years plus reparations and court orders including a public apology and memorial funding. The video says Mexico has no effective early-release mechanism to blunt a long term sentence.
• Social fallout: Teams and the baseball community reportedly distanced themselves; alumni events allegedly exclude him.

Overall themes emphasized by the video

• Predatory behavior exploiting fame or access: The video contrasts public image/celebrity status with privately targeted abuse.
• Delayed or limited accountability: Some cases linger publicly for years (e.g., McLemore), while others show quicker institutional movement (e.g., McLemore/Blazers, Vázquez/Pirates, Sharper/media removal).
• Legal processes can be slow but decisive: Trials and convictions are highlighted, including mandatory minimums and long sentences.
• “Diminishing excuses” stance: CTE/brain injury is discussed in Belcher and Winslow contexts, but the video frames it as explanation that does not remove responsibility.
• International consequences matter: Deportation and limited U.S./MLB leverage are portrayed as major factors in some outcomes (notably Vázquez).
