Who do you feel "suffered " more due to real vs. supposed racial slurs...Rutgers' basketball or Duke Lacrosse?

Question

My opinion is the Lacrosse players , who were lied about, lost a year of their lives defending a false allegation while the Rutgers team is now national heros who may have a movie made about them.On average Rutgers ladies win big and Duke guys lose big...sadly.

Answer 1

Those who suffered the most, the Lacrosse players and the black race.

Answer 2

Well let's see, the Duke Lacrosse players who have had to live out the false accusations of a crime for the last year or so versus the Rutger's girls who have had to feel insulted by an old shock jockey for about 2 weeks. No question here.

By the way, I see nothing "racial" about his comments. Demeaning and insulting to women, absolutely. But never did he bring any aspect of color into his remarks. That has been added by Al Sharpton, the media, and the like.

Answer 3

I agree with you. I even heard someone comment during an interview that these boys "seemed" like the type that if they weren't guilty this time they were in the past. ?! Even though charges were dropped and the girl lied they will always face this stigma. They lost a year of their lives under suspicion. Lost friends. Grades suffered. Relationships suffered.
The Rutgers basketball team suffered I'm sure with the media frenzy that surrounded them. Otherwise, they've far exceeded the amount of fame they would have gotten for losing the championship game. Same for the coach.
BTW, who won the girls college championship game? They have been totally ignored in all the chaos.

Answer 4

jesse jackson owes the lacrosse people alot more than an apology. he got the coach fired and all making them guilty before their day in court. some justice from a preacher.

Answer 5

I agree with you and that scumbag Al and that scumbag Jesse haven't apologized yet!!! Where's the outrage??????
