I think we’ve learned our lesson about jumping to conclusions about allegations made against lacrosse players. That’s just unreal. Maybe one of these days, something interesting will happen in lacrosse that doesn’t involve sexual assault or a dead body. That’s my wish for the world today. That, and free OREOs.
