Duke Lacrosse Team have brought shame on their school, the community, the sport of Lacrosse and worst of all the cover-up of a horrendous act of violence and a "racial" hate crime as far as I'm concerned.

I played College Women's Lacrosse at an Ivy League Team and am well aware of NCAA team sports, the mentality (especially amongst the male teams) and also the attitude's surrounding them from the College Athletic Dept's.

I don't know all the facts around this case, but what is known is just disgusting and makes me sick. I am glad that Duke suspended the entire Lacrosse Team and season. I hope that each and every one of them, even those who are cleared of the actual rape itself, are all prosecuted, either for aiding and abetting the crime of rape and racial attack, cover-up of a crime, lying to police and whatever other charges can be brought against them.

Personally, I think they should then all be suspended from Duke. Sure, there might have been several members who committed the actual rape, but to me, the fact that the entire team, even members who might not have seen or been a part of the rape or "cheering" section, would not cooperate and give information of what they know, makes them as guilty of the crime of rape itself.

Its about time that a message also gets sent out to all students, particularly male athletes on College Campuses, that there is a zero tolerance policy and maybe in the future, a crime like this won't be able to be perpetrated because someone will prevent the crime, stop the crime and/or report the crime.

I can't imagine the horror this woman went through. :cry:
