But generally I agree, although Moran had one decent point: these guys were more privileged than many. They can suffer the slings and arrows of a Jesse Jackson, who ought to be the target of some well deserved litigation in this matter. One thing I vehemently disagree with Moran on: yeah, they paid 2 strippers. And? It's perfectly legal to do so. That it offends somebody's morals isn't the lacrosse players' problem. It is, after all, what many young men do, and what many young women agree to do in exchange for money. There's far worse scandals.
