I’ll add one for you:

8) Coach Mike Krzyzewski failed to use his stature and bully pulpit at Duke to stand up for these young men in Duke athletics, at a time when anyone paying attention knew they were innocent. Instead, he hunkered down and kept quiet, and thereby lost the respect of thinking people.

Yes I didn't think about that. I lost a lot of respect for Krzyzewski on this matter. He was in a difficult position but if he had true courage he would have come forward. I have sources from friends (Duke Alumni) who say that everyone close to the events knew the whole thing was a giant sham but few lacked the courage to stand up for what was right. That would surely include Krzyzewski. About the only people in that school who had courage was the womens Lacrosse Team in their symbolic jesture of wearing headbands with innocent on them. Courage is a rare commodity in Durham N.C.

It's also funny just how fast the story was dropped by the MSM after the NC Attorney General came forward. If the races of the victims were reversed you can bet your last dollar it would not have been dropped so fast. There would be Congressional Investigations. There would be movies made about it and the like. Where's Hollywood? What's the matter Hollywood? Isn't this a compelling story? Talk about lack of courage. Talk about double-standard. Well nobody with any brains ever thought Hollywood had any integrity. But what bothers me the most is how the bigger story wasn't reported. How could this sham (and everyone with a triple digit IQ knew it was a sham) go on for over a year? That's the real story. What a disgrace the MSM is.
