- I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it.
- -- Indiana Basketball Coach Bobby Knight
-
- Its so addictive. I often get scared. Often, it's a matter of pushing the
- limits. If you're doing the same thing for years and years, you get used to
- it and become accustomed to it, but me and my peers are always pushing the
- limits, going higher, faster, longer, and that's what gives you the
- excitement-- the fear factor.
- -- Skateboarder Mark "Gator" Anthony,
- convicted of raping and killing girlfriend
- Jessica Bergsten, talking about the
- thrill of skateboarding
-
- Don't fight it, I'm the champ.
- -- Allegedly said by Mike Tyson to Desiree
- Washington while he was raping her.

- The sexual metaphors should be transparent, even to a dopey jock: Balls.
- Goals. Penetration. Scores. The slam-dunk. The touchdown. The home run.
- The soccer ball spurting on a projectile toward the yielding, womblike net.
- Sports are filthy.
-
- The superstar athlete's career follows a familiar linear pattern. It begins
- with training. Then comes competition. Championship. Champagne. Cocaine.
- Titty bars. Paternity suits. Rehab. Sneaker commercials. Beer
- commercials. Cancer. Toss in a little rape, and you're set. Statistically,
- jocks are four times more likely to rape than non-jocks. On my college
- campus, the jocks used to huddle together in the recreation areas. They'd
- grunt, nod, and occasionally point at things. I'm sure that if I have them a
- bag of rocks to play with, they would have spent hours beating the rocks
- together and arranging them in small piles. It didn't take much to keep them
- amused. That's because most of their brain matter resides in their pants,
- much like Volkswagens store their engines in the trunk.
-
- Not all jocks are dumb- famous strap-snappers such as Reggie Jackson and Bill
- Bradley are equally at easy in the locker room or at Mensa Scrabble
- tournaments- but most athletes tend to be less intelligent than the tobacco
- juice they spit onto the Astroturf. In the Land of the Jocks, though, brains
- are more than counterbalanced with brawn. Bone-snapping physical power is
- the jock's tactical advantage in rape. A smattering of cultural entitlement
- may egg him on if he's a famous jock, but famous violinists and
- world-renowned physicists don't pull up the rape stats like jocks do. Rape
- is a physical act. The body is important. You're seven-foot-two, she's
- five-one. You could rip her neck off like it's a beer-can tab. Even with
- consent, you couldn't get half your dick inside her before she'd howl in
- agony.
-
- You're very strong and very stupid. You can't sign your own name. You can't
- read your driver's license. You can't even spell the word "rape," but that
- isn't necessary. You're a jock. You're the biggest jock on the block. And
- you have a cock. Its a jock's cock, as hard as a rock.
-
- Back in the caves and jungles, these big galoots were the warrior kings, the
- ass-kickers and harem-owners whose physical prowess made them desirable
- hubbies. Good killers were good providers. These were the guys who excelled
- at slaughter. Sure, they may work as bouncers for five bucks an hour now,
- but back then they had status.
-
- Of all modern athletes, no one has more Cro-Magnetism than the boxer, whose
- ability to injure other males bespeaks a panty-staining level of virility.
- And we've never seen a boxer quite like "Iron" Mike Tyson. A pit bull with a
- lisp. Mike Tython. His Gerber-baby, kewpie-doll peep of a voice. And he
- could pummel any man in the solar system into a small mound of shaving cream.
- He was invincible, both superhuman and subhuman, Mighty Joe Young with a
- high-top fade and a gold tooth.
-
- Tyson hammered his way through an electrifyingly violent string of unbeaten
- fights in the mid-eighties, his ferocity level more than of a spree killer
- than an athlete. It seemed only a matter of time before he murdered someone
- in the ring.
-
- Unfortunately, it never happened. Mike's dick got in the way of his fists.
- When a bald, overweight bulldog names Buster Douglas beat Tyson in Japan,
- everyone knew Mike's heart wasn't in the fight. It was somewhere elth. He
- wath having problemth with girtlh.
-
- Mike Tyson had emerged from the shit-covered streets of Brownsville, New
- York, where he'd been a member of a gang called the Jolly Stompers, to become
- the world heavyweight champion. A chocolate-coated troll doll named Don King
- saw it as a typical American rags-to-riches saga: "Mike Tyson has come around
- 180 degrees, and that's the triangle of American life," said the world's
- wealthiest murderer-cum-Buckwheat-impersonator.
-
- Soon after Tyson became champ, King became his manager and witnessed his
- circling the rest of the triangle. And it was a model American success
- story, complete with mansions, race cars, sexual harassment, and forced
- intercourse. Manifesting the jock rapist's inability to distinguish between
- "scoring" in and out of the sports arena, Tyson rhapsodized about treating
- his lovers as if they were boxing opponents: "I like to hurt women when I
- make love to them," he said. "I like to hear them scream... it gives me
- pleasure." He also claimed that the best punch he ever threw was the one
- which sent eyebrow-plucked actress and disposable wife Robin Givens into a
- wall.
-
- By 1991, Tyson had foisted his toothy fireplug bulk on so many unwilling
- women, he'd earned a reputation as a "serial buttocks fondler." At the Miss
- Black America pageant in Indianapolis, Mike was observed groping asses from
- Alabama to Wyoming. He focused his evil leer on Miss Rhode Island,
- eighteen-year-old Desiree Washington. At a hundred and five pounds, Desiree
- weighted less than half as much as Iron Mike. A Sunday-school teacher and
- Big Sister volunteer, Desiree was apparently the only woman on earth naive
- enough not to expect sex after being invited to Mike Tyson's hotel suite. So
- when Tyson's chitchat abruptly switched from community service and pet
- pigeons to "You're turning me on," she was surprised.
-
- Laughing, Tyson pinned her to the bed. He forced his thick tongue down her
- throat, giving her a taste of the champ's legendary halitosis. She tried to
- resist, "but it was like hitting a wall." Tyson kept coming. "Don't fight
- me, mommy," he told her. When he finally penetrated her, the pain "was just
- excruciating," Desiree recalled. After popping off, Tyson asked, "Don't you
- love me now?" She didn't. She was sobbing. "You're just a crybaby," Tyson
- said. "You're just crying because i'm big."
-
- Yes, the triangle has come full circle since 1986, when Tyson knocked out
- Trevor Berbick to become the youngest heavyweight champ ever. He had gone
- from criminal to hero, and back to Palookaville again. Less than a month
- after Tyson's conviction, his vanquished for Berbich received a four-year
- sentence for raping a baby-sitter. Boxers are so sexy.
-
- But they don't own exclusive rights to the jock-rape fiefdom. A slight sniff
- of the sports pages will yield the piercing liniment smell of rapist
- linebackers. And rapist point guards. And rapist shortstops. In fact, most
- rapist jocks tend to participate in team sports. Solo practitioners of
- nonviolent sports are statistically less likely to rape. That isn't to say
- you won't find the occasional track-star rapist. Or rapist bowler. Even
- skateboarders can get caught up in the drive to win.
-
- When Mark Rogowski decided his real name didn't have to the proper
- competitive ring to it, he changed it to Mark "Gator" Anthony. An alligator.
- A predator. He told reporters that skateboarding was "a real productive way
- of venting some way-harsh aggressions. Instead of breaking a bottle and
- slashing somebody's face, you're throwing yourself at a wall with sweat
- dripping in your eyes." It was the borderline-psychotic drive which propelled
- Gator into skateboarding's elite, with the kneepad endorsements and eager
- beach bunnies such status implies.
-
- It was the same testosterone-sparked drive which led Gator to sneak behind
- his girlfriend Jessica Bergsten and clunk her brutally in the skull with the
- Club (tm) steering-wheel lock. As the blood saturated Jessica's hair and
- clothes, Gator cuffed her and hauled her up to his bedroom. While Jessica
- screamed, Gator handcuffed her to the bed, stripped her naked, and fucked her
- for at least two hours. Still, the bitch wouldn't admit defeat. Gator
- crammed her inside a surfboard cover and choked her to death with his hands.
- A few hours later, he buried her nude body in the desert sand. Having wasted
- years scraping his kneecaps against empty swimming pools, Gator finally
- pushed the limits. The score: Gator-1, Jessica-0.
-
- Women. Money. Power. Rape. The breakfast of champions.
