On one hand, you're grateful for the national exposure the sch...
The Beer At Gay Bars Must Be Especially Good
Their school already has the gayest of all mascots — not that there's anything wrong with that — so why shouldn't two University of Virginia football players be arrested for stealing beer from a gay bar?
