While their fellow students were enjoying Spring Break, the LAX team gave up their Break to stay on campus for team practice.

Their choice of "entertainment" was not particularly admirable but given that they were young red-blooded males w/little outside of practice to do with everyone else gone, understandable...at least, to some less critical folks...and they now know it.

Let's lay off the criticisms; they've suffered enough, don't you think?

I just don’t agree. I entirely agree with PA Mom. Yes, they’ve suffered enough, but nowhere have I seen them mentioned as anything but “heroes” who stood up to the system. Except on Bill Bennett’s morning show; he addressed this. I admire them and their families for how they got through this and they well desire admiration for that. And it’s great that they practiced on campus. After all, they are athletes.

But it’s comments like yours that makes me worry. That its understandable red-blooded male practice. It’s anything but! I have a daughter that age and it scares the life out of me that anything sees this as normal. If these had been my sons, they would probably have been more scared of me than the DA.
