Karl Malone is a pedophile that RAPED a 13 year old woman and impregnated her. To celebrate such an individual, that never had the law take action against him and was able to avoid any punishment is abhorrent.

The NBA & the Utah Jazz organization, although cannot enforce the criminal laws, they can strip Malone of his retired jersey & remove the statue outside the arena.
