These players are accused of rape, but hookers, strip clubs, parties set up for players to get laid with date raped drugged girls on and on. Young players think with one thing and it's not where the helmet goes. Coaches and recruiters know this. These things are coming out more and more due to the exposure and safe feeling that other avenues have succeeded at, the whole Weinhouse thing is going to open doors for accusers in other areas.
This stuff was buried before, no girl wanted people to know she lost her virginity, then they turned it into your a slut and whore and shamed them that way, progressive society has now turned the tables and it's now the guys that will be attacked and called rapists, becoming very dangerous out there and it's not just STD's anymore.
To clarify, historically College football catered and swayed recruits and players with Strip clubs hookers etc, Mike Price got busted for it and other schools as well. This was all common in many places to separate the choices. It was the dirty secret that everyone knew, enticement of any means just like jobs that paid athletes, although they never did anything, pushing tests scores in classes they never attended etc.
Girls and women were afraid to come forward after an experience but I will go as far to say there was a known situation going on exclusive parties with the football team isn't really hard to figure out. Now you get girls that want to be given perks for attending these events but when the sexual things happen will call rape due to the social awakening, used to be a joke that stated no means yes, not anymore. Thinking your untouchable as a premier athlete at a school is no longer true, it used to be, cover ups and schools protecting their reputation paying off etc. These days women are coming forward whether the situation was a true rape or whether it's a way to cash in. That's the big danger now. For the most part only the female knows the truth because it can be spun in any encounter to her being a victim. You can call it Gold Digging or getting a payday, we see many athletes accused and found not guilty.
That's not to discount the real victims but creates a dangerous environment for everyone involved only because only the female knows the truth, signals by women have been confused by men since the beginning. The females can go as far to say she wanted an encounter with this player but not another and because the wrong one was involved and no resistance seen it happened, because of the environment and the rest of the players around and not wanting to be looked at as a threat or a problem to the situation the female had the encounter.
Yes it can be confusing and trying to say what the old guard thought was ok has now come to the point of a unlawful situation putting teenagers or very young adults in situations that Hormones act in place of brains.
