I do not in any way condone the actions of the footballers who were involved in this... that whole mentality sickens me. However, I am no longer so certain that they didn't fully believe the woman consented to whatever occured.
And, if that is the case (and none of us will ever know for sure) then I truly don't believe they (he!) should be held accountable for what happened.
