Not by the fact that rapes by members of the football team have been ignored or covered up, but by the fact that Briles is likely to be fired. Hey, who cares about the rape victims? They should keep their mouths shut for the good of the football program!
This sort of scenario happens again and again and again, and it's been going on for decades.
The worst sports haters are not to be found among those who say they hate sports. They are to be found among the fans themselves; namely, those of the fans who happen to be the enablers of the rapists. Ordinarily, I would expect football fans to be opposed to the presence of rapists and other evildoers on their beloved teams. But the truth of the matter is that some fans just don't care if a rape has been covered up or if they, in fact, know that a rapist is on the team. All they care about is whether their team has a winning season. Nothing else matters to them. Forget about justice and common decency!
They, in fact, are guilty of corrupting their own beloved sport, which does far more damage than a guy who announces in an Internet forum that he doesn't like sports. Sports fans (including certain DU members, past and present) will bellyache about individuals who criticize sports or say they hate sports; but they never have a problem with the enablers of bullying, hazing assault, and rape. It is to laugh.
