Hey now paper, not all colleges are like that. I go to a small college thats D-III without even a football team, so our athletes really aren’t too special. However the hockey players at U-Maine could probably get away with murder, but that school is also have five times the number of students too

If this was a college player, they would have reported it to campus police, who would have belittled the woman and steam rolled her into not filing a complaint…..I wish that observation wasn’t based on experience, but it is…campus police do more protecting of campus administrators and athletes than they do anything else.

If this was a college player he would be suspended. Why the double standard?

Well, he may have ruined an innocent person’s life, but at least he didn’t break any home run records under false pretenses. Amirite, fellas?

you should actually work this into your metrics for a player
IE: .307/.341/.432 with 10 home runs, 66 RBI and 22 stolen bases and 1 rape in 158 games.

Its just kind of how sports articles go. I’ve seen articles about players that died and at the end they tacked on the guys career stats

You are writing about a sexual assault allegation against an athlete. Where does the following fit in?

“Castro batted .307/.341/.432 with 10 home runs, 66 RBI and 22 stolen bases in 158 games last year for the Cubs. He also became the youngest player in franchise history to amass more than 200 hits in a season.”
