Why is the story about the Duke lacrosse team such big news? It is no different then any other number of rapes that happen every day and certainly less newsworthy then most of the horrific acts occuring around the world that we blindly ignore.
3 lacrosse players do not represent all of Duke. One could argue that they represent the mindset of testosterone charged males involved in team sports. How many professional athletes get in trouble despite the obvious costs involved? Society promotes their antics right up until it becomes violent and then wonders how it could have happened.
