This has to be the lamest defense tactic I've seen in a while: In a lawsuit filed by women who say they were sexually assaulted by CU football players and recruits, a lawyer for one of the women asked University of Colorado President Elizabeth Hoffman about former CU kicker Katie Hnida being called the "c- word" by a teammate. Hoffman said she has heard a four-letter word used toward women as a "term of endearment."



Yep. It ranks right up there with the pet name "skank."
