Sports: Six black Brigham Young University footballers indicted for gang rape
A state grand jury has indicted four former Brigham Young University football players on allegations of gang rape, capping an especially embarrassing year for a football program long considered a missionary tool for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Friday's bombshell announcement: six freshmen players or former players will face a total of 18 felony charges in connection with the alleged rape of a 17-year-old girl in August.
B.J. Mathis, Karland Bennett, William Turner Jr. and Ibrahim Rashada are charged with four felonies each — two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault and one count each of obstruction of justice and dealing in material harmful to a minor. Two other football players also face criminal charges — wide receiver Antwaun Harris, who is alleged to have made a false statement to investigators, a second-degree felony, and defensive back Billy Skinner for allegedly dealing in material harmful to a minor

Look like not even BYU is safe. I bet these guys were not even Mormons. Sometimes I just want to see all sports team gotten rid of.
