Entrenched Notre Dame authorities were so intransigent and lax in their investigation that many would say they were criminally complicit in covering up the alleged crimes. Others said their actions made them accomplices after the fact.
Notre Dame’s bureaucracy seemed more interested in protecting alleged rapists than in any financially insignificant assaulted female students (another had accused four football players of rape in 2002…while yet another accused six players of raping her in 1974). Being further victimized by the slander that she had disgraced its football program, Miss Seeburg committed suicide. Her death is the only thing not alleged about the whole sordid business.
Another recent occurrence that Notre Shame administrators are pleased the public doesn”t remember was when student-employee Declan Sullivan was all but murdered as he was forced to film a football practice in gale-force winds from an elevated platform.
Though the young man repeatedly asked coaches to lower the scaffold so he would be safe, these pleas were summarily dismissed. (Whether the victim was taunted as a “sissy,” weakling,” or “faggot” for seeking his safety is unclear; though given Notre Dame football coaches” notorious sensitivity it would not be at all surprising.)
As winds buffeted the rickety perch upon which the youth was obligated to remain, he sent out text messages to friends and family trying to allay his fears through humor. After 110 minutes at 39 feet in the air, the 51-mile-per-hour force of nature toppled the steel structure, which landed upon Sullivan and crushed him to death.
Note that this was a youngster. Even had he the fortitude to very publicly contradict coaches at a school where such cretins are treated as demigods, there is reason to suspect the boy feared for his position on campus. Such minor infractions as insisting on not being practically murdered can lead to draconian consequences should a homicidal maniac on the sidelines think he has been “disrespected” in front of his players.
Sadly, rather than sue the school into bankruptcy, Sullivan’s parents say they have no hard feelings over their son’s sacrifice on the almighty altar of grown men playing a children’s game. After being invited by school officials to the skybox for some overdone hors d”oeuvres, all is well.
Instead of taking aim with implement just behind the left ear of those responsible for his son’s demise, the father obsequiously kneeled before these sporting officials who destroyed his family.
Cheating, lying, fakery, rape, conspiracy, and murder”these are the contemporary Notre Dame values. And covering the entire foul stench of putrid immorality is a blue cloak dyed green, stolen from the Virgin now stripped bare by those who denigrate her name to justify their filthy actions. This grotesque hypocrisy is the worst of these athletes” and administrators” many obscene transgressions.
For while she is Our Lady, Notre Dame is their disgrace.
