The most vile, noisy, disgusting locker room I ever witnessed was the football locker room. These guys would say whatever came into their heads. They would yammer on and on about sexual exploits (in high school, much less in college) in the worst possible language.

But, have I ever heard anyone talk about sexual assault or rape as if it was just another game? No. Never.

The so-called man we are talking about is frigging 70 years old, and he was 59 at the time he was taped! So not to excuse your ex-teammates, who as you say, were not as bad as little Donnie was, but one can understand that teenagers and many guys in their 20's still have some growing up to do.
