Most people defending the Duke lacrosse players (and there are very few of them) are quick to point out that despite prior charges for 15 players, they were all for just drinking and disruptive behavior. Well it turns out that’s not completely true.
Collin Finnerty and two lacrosse players from other schools were arrested in November for attacking a man in Washington D.C.
A man said he was minding his own business when the three men started picking on him. The man told them to stop “calling him gay and … derogatory names.” Then they attacked him, he said, “busting his lip and bruising his chin,” court records say.
Lacrosse players claim they get a bad reputation but so far, in court documents, members of the Duke lacrosse team have been shown to be racist and homophobic — we’ll reserve judgement on the raping and accessory to a crime.

One reply on “Duke lacrosse scandal update: player previously arrested for assault”
DUKE LACROSSE SCANDAL — DO WOMEN’S SPORTS TEAMS AT DUKE DO ANYTHING LIKE THE “PARTY” INVOLVING THE MEN’S LACROSE TEAM? IF SO I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR OF ONE OR TWO EXAMPLES. MANY YEARS FROM NOW THE PRESENT LACROSSE TEAM MEMBERS WILL LOOK AT THIS TYPE OF PARTY AND WISH THEY HAD SPOKE OUT AGAINST THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY AND NOT BEEN A PART OF THE HERD MENTALITY. STAG PARTIES, HAZING, PLEDGE RITUALS, FRATERNITIES AND THE LIKE ARE REALLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE. I ATTENDED ALL OF THE ABOVE BUT WISH I HADN”T.
