A couple of weeks ago, the Duke lacrosse team came up with the bright idea to hire two strippers for a party in a university-owned house. Then three guys had the bright idea to rape one of the young ladies in the bathroom. Allegedly.
The dancer, a North Carolina Central University student (’cause you know, when you go to NCCU, you have to dance for the rich kids at Duke to pay your tuition) claimed she was raped by three players and nearly strangled to death. Way to go, gentlemen, it’s always a good idea to show how tough you are by beating a girl and sexually assaulting her. Couldn’t you just have done some gay hazing instead?
Since all lacrosse players look alike, police took DNA samples from 46 members of the team yesterday, including some who weren’t even at the party. The team has already forfeited one game and will forfeit another as punishment for hiring private party dancers and underaged drinking. Oh, and in case you have the moral compass of Mike Tyson, University President Richard Brodhead issued a statement that “Physical coercion and sexual assault are unacceptable in any setting and have no place at Duke.” Thanks for the clarification, Dick.
(By the way, sorry about the headline, I couldn’t resist.)
