What I don't understand is if you're attending a very prestigious university on a swimming scholarship with the potential to represent your county at the f'ing Olympics, why are you resorting to assaulting women behind dumpsters? Getting dates and consensual sex should be the easiest thing ever. And blaming the whole incident on alcohol is pretty ridiculous - the worst booze should do is make you embarrassingly hit on people you normally wouldn't, not rape unconscious people behind dumpsters.

Seriously.  I've been way more blacked out than this little bltch and I've never wanted to rape anyone.  Blaming it on alcohol took it to a whole other level regarding how terribly delusional and self-absorbed this rapist is.

Rape isn't about sex. it's about power exchange and control. It's a lot less risky to hire a prostitute and hell even legal in some places, but that doesn't eliminate rape.

Why would anyone have sympathy for him?

I might be able to muster some up if he acknowledge what he did and apologized. But now – no.

I might feel a shred of sympathy for him if he were getting the death penalty or something like that. But as it stands, he's a horrible rapist, and he's not getting anywhere near as severe a punishment as he should. No sympathy from me.
