Wow that is beyond appalling.

It's also a reason why we just cannot tolerate allowing young boys to be exposed to sports stars who have shown themselves to be unashamed misogynists that think women are just pieces of meat whose sole purpose is for their sexual pleasure.

For what though?

Some stupid scribbles on a toilet wall? Very hard to really form an opinion on this without know what was actually written.

I very much doubt "sexual assault" was written on the wall.

The ones with the most ticks will get raped

Wow, you're talking about minor girls, your daughter, your sister. Is that really what you think any young child should have to face at school?
At that age the intimidation of a threat is so intense and so real.
No one of any age should have to put up with it but the idea of children and young teens having to meet that in their school day is appalling.

Any young boy who found that funny or participated in adding ticks needs serious sorting out too. That is an attitude it's not safe to allow young boys carry around. Not safe for the women in their lives, or for themselves. If you grow up with that outlook and such disregard for female safety you are quite likely to find yourself in deep trouble too.

Serious jump there. Should we not be more concerned that the children's own parents aren't setting proper boundaries and influencing their behaviour.

But I suppose it's always easier to blame someone else especially when it's suits.

because young boys like certain sports people to get dating tips? , you'd be amazed at the male mind's ability to only focus on the skills of a player if talking about soccer say and have no interest in what the player does off the field.

Morons doing moronic things.

On the one hand, this is exactly the kind of thing some lads would do just because they know it'd get a rise.

On the other hand, if I found out it was my son or nephew I'd tan his bloody hide.

You should have an interest though.
You should have an interest if your child idolises a person who makes deeply offensive racist slurs, who degrades people because they are gay etc, who describes his female peers as "merry-go-rounds" and "sluts".

Do you really think that a society can tell a child this man is a hero that they could dream of growing up to be like him but also tell its children that he is a horrible person that they must never emulate?
Or that society will reward you for kicking a ball and not care what your character is and still expect your child to prize values of respect and being a decent human being.

I respect a person's right to hold ideals and values different than my own, I think a lot that's now considered politically incorrect can be fair comment, but abuse and utter disrespect are immediately identifiable. That's what these men's attitudes revealed.

In amazed at ability of some people to focus on their own entrainment and completely overlook really important points.

Im putting my dusty can barely find it teenage hat on but I can assure you boys don't care what adults get up to in their private lives. If some young lads are going off the rails its not this, anymore than video games make kids violent.
My suggestion would be to stop looking for easy scapegoats.
