That is a very ignorant statement. My brother played lacrosse, through college, I might add; UMASS. Alot of the kids on his team came from working class families, and alot of them got scholarships. Lacrosse in the north is like football is in the south.

Only observing that a Yankee doesn't always appreciate the scope of racial tensions in the south.

I forgot. There's no racial prejudice in the Northeast. Doh!!

Are you calling southerners racists? Is that your real agenda here?

I lived in the north for the majority of my years and moved south 8 years ago. Some freepers will remember the many times I've mentioned that there is LESS racism in the south than up north and the races get along MUCH better here. Southern freepers have agreed with that statment so take your race bating elsewhere.

LaCross IS a sport more common among prep school males in schools attended by the upper classes than High Schools for normal folks.

I notice you left off the dopiest part of your previous statement.

Perhaps you realized how truly stupid it was.

I guess you didn't read the news article clearly.

Go back to the part about physical damage consistent with sexual assault.

Then look at the entire scenario - a gang of drunk, upper class white atheletes and a couple of black female strippers at a "party".

Then, maybe if you can view this incident through an unbiased lens, you might reassess your opinion.

For your edification, despite my name "ZULU", I'm a lily-white Euro-American.

Nope.
I already addressed that with another poster.
I never said southerners are racist.
But you would love to assume the worst about me wouldn't you?

Oh, and there's no racial tension up north. /sarcasm

Or in LA. Chicago. New York City. Where all the major riots of the last 20 years have occurred.

In the early years of the colonies, after Charleston, the largest port of entry for slaves was New York.

What's wrong with private schools? I sent mine to private schools.

Nothing of course, I put in the tuition in part to point out that not all private school are for the elite. A family who could can afford to send there kid to private school for $6,000 a year doesn't have to be rich at all, whereas a $22,000 a year prep school would exclude many families. Both come from seemingly relatively well off communities, but hardly Beverly Hills. Both appear to be upper middle class, prosperous but not "rich". A defense of this case will no doubt put a strain on their families.

Oh, I get it, so now there's something wrong with being upper class and an athlete. I get it. I guess we should all aspire to be a "poor stripper." Again, if you've closely followed this case you'd quickly recognize that there's nothing to it. Getting paid to get pounded by men every night would probably lead to injuries consistent with rape (or "swelling" as it's been reported).
