and it seemed it couldn't get much worse.

Rachel has the word on a sick development in the duke lacrosse rape case. the head coach has resigned and the season has been cancelled after an email from a sophomore lacrosse player came to light. the player wrote that he was going to have some strippers over, and planned on "killing the bitches," then "proceding to cut their skin off." this, he proclaimed, would result in him "cumming in my duke issue spandex."

i write this all out not to merit a Not Safe for Work distinction today, but because it's so shocking that it needs to be quoted verbatim. this is what we're talking about. this is something that a 19 year old NCAA student athlete felt no compunction about sharing in an email.

stick with Justic 4 Two Sisters for more information and all the media links.

this story, as it all unfolds, is important. don't ignore it. don't disregard it. don't, as tempting as it is, try to put it out of your mind.

this matters.

That's awful. Not surprisingly, we talked quite a bit about this case in my sexual violence class this week.
