Well, for those of you who do not know this, I am quite a big Duke Basketball fan. So, while reading the news today, I was happy to come across an article on MSN.com regarding the Duke Lacrosse rape scandal. According to the article, today all charges against all three players were dropped. I have been following this incident off and on since day one. It is nice to know there is finally and end to this saga. I just wanted to say that I think it is awful what those boys had to go through in the media and the toll it has taken on their lives. It was an incident in our nation's history that shows us just how powerful the media can be and how much it can damage people. We think because celebrities choose to be in the spotlight, they deserve all of the negative attention given to them by reporters. In this case, these young men can now say they did nothing to "deserve" what happened to them, and hopefully they will be able to rebuild their lives. See link below for full story:
