I just read an article in Newsweek about Duke's Lacrosse-team. It said that the entire lacrosse team went to a house that the 3 captains rented to party and hired 2 stippers and apparently one of the strippers ended up being raped by 3 different players. The stripper that was raped was African American so this whole race issue is being brought in consideration too because 46 out of the 47 students on the lacrosse team are white. Do you think this could ruin the school's reputation?
(MODS:: I'm not sure if this should go under sports, school, or debate so feel free to move this subject if you feel the need.) |

It's an interesting case. Based on media reports, I'm not convinced an actual rape happened. The victim does not seem that credible. But it's clear that something happened. The season was cancelled because the team as a whole would not cooperate with the authorities. A college sports team is not going to sacrifice their entire season for that reason, unless they have something to hide. I just don't know if what they were hiding was rape per se.
