The authors unearth the true story from firsthand interviews and thousands of pages of documents: the forensic report on a bloody fingerprint; the notes of a detective investigating allegations of rape; confidential memoranda of prosecutors; and the criminal records of the dozen-plus players arrested that year with scant mention in the newspapers and minimal consequences in the courts. The statement of a judge, sentencing one player to thirty days in jail, says it all: “to be served after football season.”\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ken Armstrong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43572767883446,"sku":"9780803268098","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780803268098_711d92de-d1f0-4355-912e-1de943c460e9.jpg?v=1726580672","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/scoreboard-baby-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
