Just wondering if your knee jerk reaction has been modified by the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.Or have you read anything about this case other than what the liberal media has told you to think? And is an apology forthcoming?? Hey Steve,still think that their guilty??

I was on the JV, as I was never privleged enough to have private lessons at the club like the 6 guys on varsity. But the JV was a different story. We all just had fun hanging out together and whacking a few balls back and forth. We hated the varsity guys. The guys on the varsity tennis team at my high school were like that, except for one.

In terms of culture, I am sure it varies from place to place, but I think it is most dangerous in affluent suburban areas. It's not just lacrosse either, after sharing my story a couple of my friends from high school related similar stories from other sports.

You said that all 47 players were white... I think I read somewhere that 46 of 47 were white, and that there was a freshman backup goalie who was black. He was the the only one who didn't have to submit a DNA test. Isn't 47 a lot of people to be on a team? How many play on the field at a time? I tried out for the KU club lacrosse team, despite never having played before. I lasted about a week, as I didn't like getting hit with sticks. Though, the club culture at KU is far removed from what I've heard about the eastern teams. This is not a happy story, and I think your analysis is spot on.
