To imply that the ”message” of the Mike Tyson rape trial is that professional athletes should be more careful in their social relations, as did the ”experts” quoted in the Tribune`s Feb. 11 Sports section coverage of the verdict, is offensive and demeaning.

Tyson was convicted of rape-not ”promiscuity,” not ”misbehaving.” The message of the case is simple: Don`t commit rape.
