I am pondering your post...and thinking, per...Jim,<br /><br />I am pondering your post...and thinking, perhaps, that you are overgeneralizing and allowing your own bad experience with "jocks" to cloud your thinking about all the elements of the horrible events that took place last week.<br /><br />I say this, of course, as someone who played lacrosse in high school and college, and who coached for more than 20 years, and also as someone who knows many many athletes who have gone on to do all sorts of vocations which benefit the world. <br /><br />I am pondering a longer response (which I may write after I read Jenkins' article more carefully), but right now I am just wondering whether it is not so much about "sports" or "drinking" (though these may influence the situation), but rather about misogyny and domestic abuse and cycles of abuse at the heart of the situation...<br /><br />Mostly pondering here, and I do appreciate your thoughts...<br /><br />In Christ's peace,<br /><br />Peter Carey+<br />http://santospopsicles.blogspot.comPeter Carey+http://santospopsicles.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
