After kicking them off the team and out of school, after 88 of their professors made a public statement against them, after assuming with no proof that they were guilty, the administration at Duke University is inviting the accused lacrosse players to come back:
Duke University said Wednesday that two of the lacrosse players accused of sexually assaulting a stripper have been invited to return to school and are eligible to rejoin the team.Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann had been barred from attending class during the fall semester while their case made its way through court. A third player, Dave Evans, graduated in May, the day before he was charged.
Lawyers for Seligmann and Finnerty said their clients were still making up their minds about whether to return.
What do you think their answer will be?
UPDATE:
"Nifong is riding a tiger and can't just get off."

Posted by: Donnah at January 3, 2007 06:29 PMMaybe, but only after those 88 professors each make a formal apology to all the players they erroneously accused as well as the President of Duke University. Duke owes those players not only apologies but a lot more.
Posted by: Carl at January 3, 2007 09:13 PMsomewhere between "f___ off!", "suck my balls"(hat tip: eric cartman), "you stole our lacrosse season, you judgmental, tenured pukes",
and "not in this life or any other" should do the trick, dontcha think?
Thanks to Duke University- with their offical stance- and along with the 88, not to mention the race baiting media whores; the real act of rape has made a giant leap forward.
Those players will get a big fat payday out of this, but will be forever known as the DUKE RAPIST! Future real rape victims will see the deserved scrutiny that the fake victim went though and not come forward.
Current and future real rapist will take note of all this, and then take advantage of it. To me, it all leads back to the liberal doorstep. With a big welcome sign.
Take Saddam, adinnerjacket, and that fool in North Korea at their word. But question everything that President Bush does- not only question....but find him guilty as charged on everything and anything. No evidence required. Just an accusation.
On the homefront. Political ambitions mixed with race mongering and liberal white guilt give us THE DUKE RAPE CASE.
