You are free to cheer for/ against whomever you wish but by rooting against the sports teams, you are punishing the wrong people. The athletes doubted the Lacrosse story from the beginning and took some heat for it (especially girls’ LAX). The student body was supportive of the LAX players, too, particularly when the truth started to come out.
Duke is not the faculty alone. It is the students, the athletes, and the alumni, too. Only one of four was closed minded about this incident...
Exactly. Mike Krzyzewski (did I spell that right?) is an example of an excellent leader who does a lot of good. There’s a reason he was selected to coach all those NBA personalities for the Olympics—he doesn’t suffer fools, and he’s a team-builder. He’s done a lot of good and does NOT deserve to be lumped in with these idiot “academics,” and I’m sure there are many others in the Duke athletics programs and student body who are not deserving of such scorn.
