The kids also like it, according to SI, because their parents don't know the rules and thus can't sit on the sidelines and yell at the refs and the coaches. Seriously.
Seriously, I believe it. The schools should expel poorly behaving parents for the season at the first infraction. It's the fault of school officials and coaches that this situation continues to embarrass student athletes after decades of it.
Just let the kids have some fun and play a good game. Hardly any are going to get scholarships or a pro career anyway. Why let parents ruin it?

This story, however horrible, is NOTHING compared to the Wichita Massacre- another non-reported story:

http://library.flawlesslogic.com/wichita_2.htm
Big, big bump.
Another story hardly anyone can find out about. What use is a free press that decides, for reasons of liberal ideology, that the public isn't capable of handling the truth?
Such selective journalism has undermined the primary justification for its own unfettered freedom of the press.
Print the news. Print all of it. Without racial filters.

It also seems true that the press is more likely to show pictures of criminals if they are black than if they're white.This explains why you continue to see "news" stories about cold cases such as Natalee Holloway or JonBenet Ramsey and are more likely to see pictorial coverage of black criminals than white ones.
First off, while I agree the preferred TV victim is a pretty white female, the preferred perp is and always will be a white male. The suggestion that blacks (per capita) are more likely to have their pictures shown is not true. It may be true on distinct numbers, but black men drawf all other races for being violent criminals. Thus it may be true on pure raw numbers, but that is not a real measurement of the bias, and this article disguises that fact.
Where are the black examples of David Westerfield, Peterson, and the others that had their mugs shown over and over again on TV? Contrast this with the "beltway snipers". Remember the obsession the media had with this case and stupid Moose Johnson on TV swearing that it was the work of whites, because we are allowed to profile them and even IGNORE obivous and blantant in-your-face evidence as long as we continue searching for a white perpetrator.
Now I ask, how many of us could pick the belt-way snipers out of a line-up? Could we pick out Westerfield, Peterson (name may be wrong, but I'll never forget his face) or Megan's law killer out of a lineup?

Kansas City Massacre? The one where the black navy seaman started shooting whites in a hotel, a Holiday Inn? That was on the order of 40 years ago.

Never heard of this story before now bump.
The MSM is keeping this one really quiet.

For the most part true; I think that the image that lacrosse has had as an east coast elite sport might have been contributory, but the main points were what you said.

Poynter is as Communist as the New York Times. Think NY Slimes on Tampa Bay rather than the Old Grey Presstitute on the Hudson.

What happened to that young Couple was absolutely Horrible, and has made me physically ill. I'm So Grateful that those Murderers will fall into the Hands of the Living God one day, and will be Kindling for His Eternal Fire.

The James Byrd and Matthew Shepherd comparisons I can buy. With the Duke case, the fact that it was covered was not due to race, although the way it was covered was definitely affected by race.

“Snopes is generally OK, but they always throw in liberal pandering B.S. into their articles.”
Amen. Snopes injects some BS that we who are complaining about the lack of coverage are suggesting that it is a media conspiracy. Idiotic statements like that drive me bat$hit. It’s not about media CONSPIRACY! It’s about media sharing a common liberal bias which saturates “politically correct” news coverage that dominates the MSM.
It’s a common dodge with libs to lie about our belief that the media conspires against us. It is as dishonest as everything else they do.
