I read the chick’s letter and I didnt find the word “rape” in it. Could this controversy be in the mind of the headline writer?
UConn basketball coach Geno Auriemma said the logo is looking right through you and saying, Do not mess with me. This is a streamlined, fighting dog, and I cannot wait for it to be on our uniforms and court.

In response, Luby wrote, What terrifies me about the admiration of such traits is that I know what it feels like to have a real life Husky look straight through you and to feel powerless, and to wonder if even the administration cannot mess with them. And I know I am not alone.
She had a Husky "look straight through her? What? Did it look in one of her ears?

Somebody should ask why she fears the athletes.
