Two Husker Wrestlers Dismissed...

>>>Wait, is Marsh really promoting Paris Hilton as a model for society's future?

That's not what I got out of the quote. To me, he was saying that in this generation, taking off your clothes for the camera doesn't have the stigma it did for the last generation. Now we have teenagers dropping trou, taking pics with their cell phones, and sending them to their boyfriends/girlfriends. And they don't think it's any big deal.

According to fratmen.tv owner John Marsh, the two had both indicated to them that they were hoping to continue with their college wrestling careers. At this point they'd have to apply to the NCAA at a different school to do so.

Said Marsh: "If Nebraska is going to be pigheaded and kick him off unreasonably, there has to be another wrestling program that's going to want him." Of the money they earned on fratmen.tv, Marsh said: "It's not money that they would be making working as a waiter. They get well-compensated. It's better than beer money...I'm in my mid 40s, and my generation has a stigma about porn. The kids, the generation of the student-athletes, don't have that stigma. They really don't care. They've come from a Paris Hilton, Tommy Lee-Pamela Anderson sex tape generation, Myspace pages. The shame and stigma aren't there for them. They're mostly worried about what their parents are going to think, because their parents think it's horrifying."

nice rationalization.​

a brief news story just aired on cnn regarding this.

i have to say it was a bit surreal seeing that.

they did make a point to illustrate that they were released not because of the nudes or the gay porn but because of the fact that they accepted money for their work which is a clear violation of ncaa rules. the fact that they already had a criminal record and the association with gay porn only moved the suspension along.
