I don't know about anybody else, but I CAN tell you - as a male survivor of SA - is that what has become public regarding the Penn State allegations has triggered me terribly. And along with it has come the ANGER and FRUSTRATION and FEAR and SADDNESS & SHAME my history has left me with. It doesn't help when you can't turn on a TV or radio without the case being referred to in excuciating detail!! The only reason I bring that up at all is because the term "varsity football" was used in the originial post... And immediately wondered if part of what's behind that has to do with the anger that SHOULD be felt when thinking about what was done to those kids... Btw, I made the mistake of reading the Grand Jury report. For anybody with a history like mine I would strongly advise you NOT read it... It has ressurected images in my brain I thought had long ago been put to rest...
