2 Steubenville football players ...
What does being football players have to do with it? Why not two "teens" or two "high school students?"

Because it furthers the perverted libtard, feminist, socialist, anti-male, pinko narrative:

1. Football is a violent game, played by violent men.

2. All men are violent, therefore all men rape.

3. The only way to ensure peace and harmony across the planet is to destroy evil and violent male-dominated societies.

4. The scumbag socialist propogandists use stories like this to assert to the ignorant masses that every man is capable of this despicable crime.

Because it was their status as football players that led authorities at various levels to want the charges to just go away rather than dealing with them as required by their jobs.

Because the Steubenville High School football team has a national reputation, and the fear/expectation was that their status as star players would either prevent them from being convicted or might mitigate their sentence. The first was proven wrong; we'll see about the second.

Because Football is so revered in some small towns, those who excel at the sport are given a pass on lots of their misbehavior.

Sorta like a younger version of ‘the old boys network or club’.

It more of a news story when it’s football players - especially in a state like Ohio which takes its high school football very seriously.

Why not the truth? Two black racist teens commit hate rape against drunken white girl? Do you not think the headlines would have read that way if the rapists had been white and the victim black?
