But this is not about me. I am the smallest piece of a very large puzzle. I'm asking how Steubenville can heal, and nothing I do or say can change any of that. What does Steubenville in general and Big Red in particular have to do to get out of this mess?
All valid suggestions wlil be welcome.
There is no "getting out of this mess." That's part of the problem...that Big Red supporters feel that they need to "get out of this mess." All that can be done now is for anyone involved in any way (whether it be they were at the party, knew about it and didn't say anything, tried to cover it up, etc.) to come forward and take their punishment. Coaches that knew and didn't do anything need to resign. Administrators that helped to sweep this under the rug need to resign. The crooked sheriff and prosecutor that didn't do their due diligence to bring about justice in favor of helping out the football team need to resign. And all of them need to face any type of punishment/prosecution that comes along with it.
"Getting out of this mess" isn't an option. Blowing up the system and starting from scratch is the only option.
