I was listening to Jay Severn on the radio last night and he suggested a poll regarding the Duke rape scandal which I thought would make for a good IMHO thread.
Who do you believe: the girl or the three lacrosse players?
Please answer with just one of the two above options and, just for fun, please include your gender. I ask this because he suggested that there would be a huge difference in who the women believe versus who the men believe. Please just answer the poll without delving into why you believe what you believe. There are myriad other threads for that. I’ll start things off.
the girl, based on what I know so far.
Disclaimers: I haven’t read about it extensively (and therefore probably know less than folks with TV &/or who have read newspaper articles on it); and I’m prejudiced against athletes and know it.
I’m female. I’m with the woman.
I haven’t read too much on it other than the Pit thread…which links to news reports so I have an idea of what’s going on. It’s not the *most * informed decision, but based on what I’ve read so far, I say the woman’s telling the truth.
Which is why we all have our torches and the lynchrope at the ready. :rolleyes: What the hell is wrong with wanting to know people’s opinions? I find it doubtful that you don’t already know this, but nobody believes that this poll would make a good basis for determining the fate of these people. Your post is useless. Thanks for nothing.
I’m confused about that. The alleged incident happened in the middle of March, and I would think they would have gotten a warrant and gotten the lax players’ DNA before the arrest (don’t know, haven’t been following the story too closely). So why’d they arrest?
Even if they arrested them first, then performed the test and got a non-match, wouldn’t they drop the charges?
I mean, I heard ‘no match’ also, but figured I was missing something (like, test was inconclusive, or she claims penetration but no ejaculation by those three).
