per Shipley:
Football, says Brenda Tracy, might be the best weapon against sexual assault. The key is getting the good guys to take control of the culture, not just within the program, but on campus.
For Tracy, a sexual assault survivor who has forged a life as a victim advocate and lobbyist, a “good guy” is one who would never think about raping someone — and there are a lot more good guys, she insists, than bad guys.
“When I go into a presentation, I don’t go to talk to the kids who might do this, I’m talking to the kids I know are good,” Tracy said in a phone interview this week. “They’re the answer. They need to be the police force, so to speak: If you see something, say something. When there’s locker room talk, shut it down. They need to be role models and leaders.”
