Packers Players Questioned in Sex Assault Case

Seven Green Bay Packers players were questioned as part of an investigation of the alleged sexual assault of two women, which took place early Saturday morning at a Wisconsin resort, CNN is reporting.  Six of the men have been released, and are not considered suspects, but one–also released–is still under investigation.  The men were at the resort in the aftermath of a charity golf tournament in which they participated.

ESPN isn’t reporting this, as it happens, at least not that we could find.  Why not? Now, we know sexual misconduct is icky, and sports figures are meant to be role models, and six of them have been cleared anyhow, but we still think this is news. What gives, ESPN.com?

By the way, the cleared players are Matt Flynn, Khalil Jones, Josh Sitton, Korey Hall, Brad Jones and Clay Matthews.  The player who is still a person of interest has not been named, but there is some physical evidence in the case.

Further bulletins as events warrant.
