Racism or fact? No one can deny the obvious fact that African Americans make up a large portion of college sports teams. And it follows that when a "crime" is committed by an athlete the perp is statistically likely to be Black. This item reported on sportsbybrooks when you link to his actual link is both racist and only partly factual:

KOMO-TV reports another University of Washington football player has been accused of rape.

For the second time this year, the school and the Sigma Chi fraternity have been sued by a woman who alleged she was raped by football player following an off-campus party at Sigma Chi.

This time the alleged attacker was reserve DB Eric Shyne. Earlier this year, a different 22-year-old woman sued the university and Sigma Chi, as well as former Washington Husky Jerramy Stevens, claiming Stevens raped her outside a Sigma Chi party in 2000.

The attorneys for the two women argue that the university should have known a football player was a danger to females, because "student athletes commit a disproportionate number of sexual assaults on university campuses."
So far so good. But link to the actual story and you will see that there is serious doubt as to the first accusation, that one of the "players" is not a player at all but a kick out, and this thing become racist as hell. Speaking as a man who was once falsely accused of attempted rape, it is frustrating as hell to say "I didn't do it", "Check my past", and all the rest when some bitch is crying her eyes out claiming you did it. In my case it all went away but I was damaged. Read the whole thing. "Another Washington Player Accused of Rape" is basically a lie.
