Almost never on ESPN.com do you see a large percentage of commenters go against a major "celebrity" athlete regarding sexual assault. Read this story and the comments - you will see MANY of people recognizing the case as being a sexual assault case (you will also see horrific examples of victim blaming throughouot). You see people explaining you cannot have sex with a drunk female because she can't give consent. In the past, you mainly only saw victim blaming statements in these athlete cases. Is this a sign of progress for our society better understanding sexual assault?
