Why isn't the guy in a police lockup, anyway? Or is it one of those "but he's a star, we can't arrest him until AFTER the season" things? |

We'll never know the truth.
Being from Texas its not a stretch to believe the girl is telling the truth and the fuckheads don't want to arrest the star player because it will cause the team to loose. |

If she was telling the truth about the rape and it was not investigated or was mis-investigated that explains why he's still on the team and why she should have quit in protest and refusal to cooperate with such an unethical organization.
If she was lying about the rape, and it was investigated and found out she should have been thrown off the team. Either way this bit of drama shouldn't have happened one of them should be gone. ETA: clarify why she should have quit in scenario 1. |

I can see their issue if she stands there as a stick in the mud, she should be allowed to stand on the sidelines though separate from the group if she really wishes.
also, if the guy is still playing, and doesn't have a restraining order against him, then I would bet that the rape case was tossed out just like her lawsuit, or else he was found not guilty. if so than the guy is innocent and shes dragging her personal problems on the court. unfortunately for women who are actually raped, there are a lot of women who cry rape to get back at a guy, or to try and ruin his life, most don't get in trouble when they do and it is clear their story has no merit. its easy to assume the guy is a scumbag and the girl is a victim but it could be quite possible that she is full of shit and pissed because her rape claim didn't work the way she wanted.

Wonder what the rest of the story is. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Definitely this. My little sister has told me numerous stories when she was in high school of girls using accusations of rape as a lever to get people they didn't like thrown in jail or kicked out of school. My girlfriend's brother spent 7 months in jail because after a girl he broke up with days earlier went running to the police. He wasn't released until the girl's own mother came to the judge and explained that she was lying just to get him in trouble. Maybe the girl in the story is being truthful and maybe she's not. The point being is that it is almost impossible to pass judgment from where we sit. When something really counter-intuitive happens like throwing a rape victim off a cheer leading squad because she won't cheer for the rapist then you have to wonder what details of the story you are missing. |

I know this sucks. From what I have read the 'girl gets raped at a party' is pretty common. At collage it might be 1 in 4 coeds get raped. What happens is that the girls are not that experienced with booze and drink too much, pass out and one or a bunch of guys will then have sex with them. Hard for me to imagine people doing that, standing in line to have sex with a passed out girl but apparently it is a near sport on some campuses.

As fucked up as that sounds, a cheerleader does not cheer for an individual. Cheerleaders cheer the team.
If her allegation were legit, you'd think the offender would be dismissed from the team - and thus rendering the point moot. ETA - read the article now, and I am OK with all of it. The guy was guilty, but continued to play until his guilt was proven in court. I am not a big fan of punishing anyone based on an allegation. There are too many cases where innocent people have paid a high price for a false accusation. The girl was certainly within her rights to refuse to cheer for the team while her attacker was still on it, but so was the school for dismissing her for her refusal. What was the big deal again? |

Quoted: Quoted: Well if she ACCUSED him Then he HAS to be guilty. Well, since he pled guilty, I guess you look pretty stupid right now, don't you? Which one? I'm having trouble following the stories - apparently there are two guys according to the commenters on the page? Further, yes, if you refuse to cheer, you should be off the cheer team. If you're running track and you hate the guy in your relay, so you just stand there when you get the baton, you're off the track team. There's no connection between a rape/accused rape and failing to perform an action that you've voluntarily undertaken. If she was sexually assaulted one or more times (fool me twice..?), that's for the courts - and it would be unusual, to say the least, for a court to impose some sort of injunction against a school to keep her on a team despite her insistence on not playing with that team. The cheerleading squad probably wants to be the best they can be, and they are not a codefendant in the rape case(s). I'm assuming guys are utter shitbags too, don't get me wrong, they deserve no defense unless she wholly fabricated the story. But I'm also guessing by the relatively light, suspended sentence for the one defendant, that this was not "beat-a-bitch-with-a-bat-and-drag-her-into-an-alley" rape. Once you go into mutual-voluntary-consumption-of-alcohol-date-rape territory, things get foggy. I was stunned by the number of girls who told me they'd been raped in college, and I'm either left assuming we men are still stone-age cretins led by government officials who deliberately avoid enforcing rape laws, or there are a lot of instances where one party "goes with the flow" sans protest, or later regrets a hasty decision. |

I think this whole thing sounds overblown, she should have been allowed to quietly sit out, she should not be forced to cheer for someone when she has serious emotional/physical problems caused by that person. If she made it into a huge deal then I can see why she got kicked off, again I might not agree with it, I would be making a lot of fucking noise if that happened to one of my friends or my gf. Looks like they decided the easiest solution was remove her from the team since it completely solves the problem... even if it is unfair. |

I gradjiated high school in Texas, and sports was the number one priority of the principal.
Who happened to also be the coach. If I described a typical day at school, most of y'all wouldn't believe me. No math, no science, but two hours of Agriculture, then ball practice. ....Followed by a gang rape of the cheerleading squad. that last part was a joke |

Quoted: Quoted: So here's the story: A girl at Silsbee High School in Texas was thrown off the cheerleading squad when she refused to cheer for a basketball player whom she had accused of raping her at an off-campus party. The girl, identified only as H.S., then sued the principal and other officials to be reinstated. But in a Sept. 16 ruling by The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, her case was thrown out. This is Texas, remember. If you're a cheerleader, YOU MUST CHEER like a happy-faced automoton, even if the athlete at the free throw line has sexually assaulted you. http://outofbounds.nbcsports.com/2010/10/so-heres-the-story-a.html.php This is actually the saddest part of the story. Why, dear God, do we need FEDERAL judges deciding what SHOULD BE a local issue? Leave this up to the citizens of Silsbee. Are you familiar with the federal constitution and the rights protected by it? |

Quoted:
Do I understand this correctly? A ball player assaulted a cheerleader. He continued to play in between the time he was indicted and convicted, during that time she refused to cheer for him? Wow. That is a tough one. I'm glad I wasn't the Principal or Admins of that school and have to make that call. Sexually assaulted. And yep.....screw that hornet's nest of drama. |

That is a quote from the blog he copied. Ah. I didn't bother to read the whole thing after I saw that it was an opinion piece. |
