AMEN!
Unfortunately, you're one of the few posters who seems to have any sense of responsibility.

I hope Bernie fine is innocent.
I have my own issues with ESPN's work on this story.
I think the accusers have some problems with their stories (most accusers do - regardless of the veracity of the underlying accusation).
I think the Syracuse police have some problems.

But the last thing I'm going to do is make silly conclusory judgments about an alleged act that is among the worst crimes possible.

It's one thing for someone to say he doesn't see much hard evidence against Bernie Fine. It's quite another to jump up and down and blame ESPN, the police or the man in the moon. It illustrates the "our team all the way" attitude that permeates big time college sports and fosters the "just win, baby" culture. And that's what opens the door for all kinds of corruption.

Zelda is absolutely right. If this was happening at another school we'd be
demanding investigations and hollering about protecting victims.
(Imagine the uproar if it was G-town).

But it's not. It's our team. Our responsibility is still the same.

I think there's a good chance that someone will do a story about the attitudes expressed by people on this forum. For the sake of SU basketball and its fans, I really hope that doesn't happen. The story wouldn't be very flattering.
