These High School Football Players Are Getting a Crash Course in Sexual Consent [rewire.news]

 

Early this year, a group of boys from Seattle’s Catholic, all-boys O’Dea High School attended a party. As football players from a team that would go on to win the state championship, they were influential among their friends. At the party, a couple of the players noticed an escalating sexual encounter involving another boy they knew that didn’t look quite right.

The girls remembered O’Dea players stepping in and saying, “Don’t do that,” to their friend. It worked—the friend listened.
