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?

It's in between the lines.

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.”

Huskies are "streamlined fighting dogs? In what universe?

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?

There were two sexual assaults at UConn involving athletes in the past year, Luby claimed.

And there's the 'rape' meme-by-association, no matter how tortuous the 'logic' is.

The logo and the teams it represents are menacing to women, she wrote.

Not only the logo but the team itself. now we're getting a glimpse of her psyche.

“The face of real life UConn athletics is certainly capable of frightening college women,” wrote Luby.

Somebody should ask why she fears the athletes.
