I don't know -- I think calling the parents of 20 murdered 6-year-olds "liars" is the kind of nasty behavior that should be called out, especially when you live a life of extreme privilege as a top-ranked college athlete.
Yes, his comments are deplorable and yes, someone should put him in his place. However, dude's a college kid posting stupid things out on Twitter, and it's only noteworthy because he happens to play the most popular and watched sport at the university.
Were he on the tennis team, no one would have ever heard of him and he'd be just some college dipshit who hasn't had someone shit all over his stupid ideas yet. Moreover, the student journalist involved would never have bothered writing a story about it.
To rephrase it, there are plenty of much more prominent and influential people who are saying this (among many other horrible things). Why aren't we exposing their disgusting untruths, except when Paul Constant reads about it on the Daily Kos?
On second thought, I don't give a damn about the Ducks, this kid's an asshole and I've now commented twice on this post. Carry on.

Obviously Occam's Razor needs to be made mandatory for freshmen.
