So we've all heard about the Colorado football rape thing going on, and they've basically left their coach spinning in the wind, which is total bullshit. Either the School's President's quotes in this article incredibly naive or she thinks we're all a bunch of fucking idiots -

-------"We need to know whether there is a culture that promotes inappropriate relationships with women," Hoffman said on CNN's "American Morning." "We need to know whether there's a culture that promotes excessive drinking. 

"If we find out that it is not a pervasive culture in the football program and the athletic department and is perhaps isolated to a few individuals, then I believe [Barnett] will be exonerated, and he will be reinstated," she said. -------

Sports culture promoting inappropriate relationships with women?! She "needs to know whether" it promotes excessive drinking?! YOU'RE ON A FUCKING COLLEGE CAMPUS! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK?!

It's no secret that football players are (for the most part) steakheads. However, at schools like Colorado, the football players are like Gods, and get whatever the hell they want, from the school, the student body, the town, whomever. Now, if I was a giant human being who could physically force whatever I want, in a situation where I'm allowed to act with impunity, it only makes sense for me to take what I want. It's a Frankenstein that Colorado has cultivated for a long time. This is not an indictment of Colorado, either; it's the same at Michigan or Texas, just like it is with Basketball players at Arizona or Duke or baseball players at Cal. Now, this hero-worship is nothing new, but for THE PRESIDENT OF AN ELITE FOOTBALL SCHOOL to say to the public that SHE'S NOT SURE IF THERE'S A CONNECTION BETWEEN FOOTBALL AND THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR is just fucking insulting. 

Now, the Coach should be fired for what he said about her kicking ability - a coach should NEVER say anything like that about any player, past or present, it's purely unprofessional. His involvement in this particular set of incidents, however, is not nearly as large as the press is making it out to be. This is a CULTURAL problem, reinforced by an educational system that uses athletics to generate (impossibly large amounts of) revenue. If a blue-chip recruit doesn't get enough pussy on his campus visit, he's probably gonna go to a school where he did, so give him the pussy, get him on the team, and keep the dough rolling in.

And this stupid bitch claims ignorance. I'm so pissed off I don't even know how to finish this letter.
