I guess we know what their legal defense will be. Lange never defends what the faculty said nor does he ever say it is warranted or had a basis, only that mean people criticized them in over the top terms. While I;ve no doubt that is true, it is also trued that neither Brodhead in his rambling statement nor Lange ever say what it is. Part of a pattern -- Brodhead always alludes to the reprehensible/dishonorable/choose your negative word behavior of the lacrosse tea mwithout ever sayign what it is.
These folks are in for a rude awakening when the civil suits come down the pike. Actions have consequences. To compare the anguish and maltreatment of the three indicted players with some nasty e-mails some faculty may have received is ludicrous. The words pampered and haughty come to mind.
I have no doubt that they've received some hateful e-mails. So what? Wheel turns.
