    Is the teaming doing anything that drastically wrong here? They haven’t been told why their teammate has been kicked off the squad and they are supporting him. Really not sure what they are supposed to do.

      Spend their time at school studying instead of throwing balls at hoops and propagating rape culture?

    Imagine how that feels for the woman or women who were at that game listening to the whole crowd cheer the name of her rapist. After he was expelled for raping her. And watching the entire team (who have to know what happened) wearing his name.

    The whole thing sounds like they’re saluting someone tragically lost in a car accident or something, when they are actually loudly, publicly having the sads that someone was expelled for rape. And if the rumor is true that they are planning a walkout, they are using their positions to tell the university that punishing rapists will cost them. That is the worst thing - they are saying to the university that unless you protect rapists, you will lose your sports program and all the hullabaloo around it.

      Can you provide proof that he did, in fact, rape anyone?

      I’m bringing you out of the grays in the hopes that you’re actually rational and that was a serious question.

      I don't need to provide proof. That happened in the hearing. And the university expelled him. So according to them, he is culpable.

    I wish we didn’t give these young male athletes such an inflated since of self importance like we seem to do. This whole rhetoric of banding together with their brother and whatnot...please, you play college basketball, there’s honestly few things less important than that.

      Yep. And it’s the banding together and high status afforded college athletes and members of certain fraternities that is the genesis of rape culture and leads to thousands of women who went to college to study getting raped.

      I love the brother in the middle, thinking they couldn’t turn their priviledged rage on him at any moment.

    Maybe you can comfortably believe and automatically dismiss a friend \teammate because of an allegation, with no evidence known to you. But reasonable people don’t do that.

      There is a strong piece of evidence available to you, that the university found him guilty and expelled him.

    Damn, they must have had him dead to rights if he really was expelled mid season. Bring on the criminal charges!

      Exactly. Google found nothing about him being charged. If the evidence is there to support expulsion, surely there is enough for charges and possibly a conviction.

      Yes, because police and D.A.s are always so eager to go forward with sexual assault charges that happen on college campus when the college is trying to cover them up.

      True story: the actual TV star Caruso’s kid went to Yale and one time I bumped into him on campus, and looked up and there was the guy from CSI Miami with the sunglasses and everything! It took everything I had not to do the β€œoooooooooooow” from the opening credits. I just giggled and ran off as he looked at me coolly, as if wondering if I had just committed...(takes off sunglasses)...MURDER.

      I have absolutely no clue if he raped anyone or not, but that nickname should carry 2-5 on its own.
