How about that.

Not only now is anyone accused of rape automatically 100% guilty, (since all guys are rapists, donchu know,) now being a football player in High School, college or pro makes them all 100% rapists.

How long until *ALL* sports are banned, since a few, (VERY few) from sports teams will commit rape?

Nobody said they were 100% percent rapists. You are being such a martyr. But the truth is that many of them are rapists and it is disgusting.

This is documented and common in football culture. Stop making excuses for them.

I realize you hate football, but quit splattering football players with your big brush.

Or so it would appear.

So it's not a broad brush so much as it is incredulity that people -anyone- gives more of a fuck about whether their High School Football team wins, than they care about the victim of a sexual assault, alleged or no.

"God I hate football. Not only is it boring, but it breeds sick, violent, rapists."

No more than ANY other group or activity.
Or are ALL clergy rapists?
ALL coaches?
ALL Trekkies?
ALL teachers?
