...Caldwell noted, it is indeed unfortunate that the Duke players lost a year of playing lacrosse and attending college. Perhaps they will be able to celebrate their innocence with another lacrosse party, where they will again be able to hire two strippers (requesting one white of course) and yell racial epithets so loudly a neighbor complains...
