To Channel 13: Rape Is Not a "Sex Scandal"

Discussing the recent bad publicity surrounding the Iowa Hawkeyes football team, tonight's sports anchor (not Keith Murphy--another guy) at WHO-TV called this a "major sex scandal."

For those who don't feel like clicking, "this" is the alleged rape of a female athlete at the University of Iowa by two male football players and a third male accomplice, followed by an alleged cover-up, followed by furious reactions from almost the entire state, followed by a reopening of the whole damn investigation by the state board of regents.

"Sex scandal" -- I don't think so.

To be fair, Channel 13 has covered the case pretty well. You can even look at WHO's Web site here for a timeline of events. But still ... gotta watch those words.
