Well, the over-importance of football in America is now front and center.

I hope the court throws the book at them.

They have gotten the attention of Anonymous, so things are going to get ugly.

what about those neanderthal teens who belittled the victim in that shameful video? if those teens haven't developed basic common decency by now, then i predict a penitentiary or early grave for them, in their near-future.

Football is particularly BIG medicine in the Pittsburgh/tri-state area.
I know because that's' where I'm from.

In the Deep South, the obsession with football is ridiculous, it is kind of strange to see this story coming out of Ohio.

I would have to say that in Pennsylvania and Ohio football is at least as great of an obsession as in the South.

Is it just me, or does anyone else hate jocks?

According one of the first articles I read about this, she was taken,unconscious, to either 3 or 4 parties, where she was shared among anyone who wanted to.....
Supposedly,pictures and videos were taken of various 'boys' abusing her, at various homes.
Why are only 2 being charged?
I thought'Accessory To Rape' included enabling and/or instigating the assault.

I wish all who raped/molested her something nice for this New Year; like Leprosy or Flesh-Eating Bacteria, or perhaps Creutzfeld-Jakob's Disease, that way, they can linger for years, while their brains are eaten away.

For those who watched and laughed, may they be stricken with permanent total blindness.

For those working hard to trivialize this, deny this, excuse this, I'd like them to become permanently paralyzed from the neck down, so they know what helplessness is.

Further, I hope these rapists never experience another erection as long as they live...

I mean it.

I don't think one case of rape in one high School is grounds for condemning school athletics...

Almost all the jocks I knew in junior high and high school were a**holes.

most jocks are alphas, and to paraphrase henry kissenger, "90% of [them] give the other 10% a bad reputation."

I played football in JH and HS. I was a starter but I was not and did not hangout with jocks.

I hungout with punks, metalheads, and stoners--people the jocks usually referred to as "scums." I was only tolerated on the team because I could play.

Most jocks I knew were elitist, entitled, spoiled douchebags who thought everyone else was simply here for their amusement and/or abuse.

Either that or they were Jesus freaks.... I prefer the Jesus freaks.

It's not a jock thing. It's an arrogant precious little a**hole who is living the best years of life at 17 thing.

This is my home turf-- at least, insofar as I can get away with considering the entire eastern end of the Rust Belt my home turf. Raised in the Monongahela Valley, would be living in Weirton but for the grace of God, living about an hour north of Pittsburgh instead.

Sports are worshipped here. But this doesn't have that much to do with sports. This has to do with a narrow-minded, hopeless, miserable society in which being a good ol' boy is prized above being a good human being...

...and in which part of the reason for the worship of sports is that it's one way you might get out of the miserable poverty trap. Wealth is worshipped nowhere so much as among people who have been taught to idolize money and power, then s**t on and left for dead by the very people they were taught to admire.

Sure don't make you want to send your kid to engineering school, I can tell you that much.

It's a sick, sad mess. I grew up with kids like that. That could have been me-- luckily, the worst that ever happened to me for passing out at a party was that my cousins wrote "f**kup" on my forehead in black Sharpie. If a few more people had been around-- who knows. If something had got started, my cousins wouldn't have protected me. I like to think they would at least not have participated, but I'm not sure of that statement.

Social deficits of neurotypicals.

That's why I don't do parties.

My heart breaks for all of them...

...but I have no sympathy for the perps or the good townsfolk who just want to see it covered up. For their f**ktard attitudes, throw the book at 'em.

Just to tell you what a hard-hearted bastard I am, I'm using this as a learning experience for my 11-year-old daughter. She's getting to the time in her life when she might want to party. She's pretty and personable. I'm telling her about this case in graphic detail...

...and I'm making sure to underline the fact that, although it's profoundly f**ked-up and utterly wrong, the only person who's really going to get punished is the victim. Moral of the story: Don't go to parties. Don't drink and get high with a bunch of other teenagers. I'd rather you didn't drink and get high, period-- but if you have to do it, do it somewhere quiet with your best friend.

Admittedly, in school I knew a couple jocks who I had counted as friends. One was my oldest friend in the world, who I had known even before either of us went to school. But the sad fact remains, had I not had this long personal history with him, I probably would have been treated badly by him, like he did the rest of the social outcasts. The other could have been described as a "Jesus Freak," who hung out with the spasses, nerds, dweebs, and other schoolyard pariahs who constituted my social circle.

Too many kids are posting that there were multiple gang rapes of this girl.
Too many people saw her being violated by more than the only two perverts who are being charged with a crime.
Why are only TWO jerks being charged??

Because apparently the law enforcement and attorney general's office in Steubenville are so enthralled by high school football that they think they have to get on their knees for the jocks, and start by unzipping their fly.

Well, maybe not. But I'm still feeling pissed off about this.

It's a shame that Anonymous aren't destroying more people. They're the heroes of this age but we need more heroism still.
