“We had a chance there with 16 down and they rape us, and he picks up the flag,” the 61-year-old Whipple told reporters .
He later used the word “mugged” to describe what happened to his player.
Good grief. He was using the word correctly.
Definition of Rape (Entry 1 of 4)
1 : unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against a person's will or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception — compare SEXUAL ASSAULT, STATUTORY RAPE
2 : an outrageous violation
3 : an act or instance of robbing or despoiling or carrying away a person by force
Now using a one word as it has been defined for decades, if not centuries, will get you suspended? Yeah, mugged is better, but come on....

I've tried to explain to people that the word RAPE has more meanings that just a sexual assault. It has fallen on deaf ears. I hate the bastardization of the english language.
I didnt know about #3, so it would be correct to say in a situation where police dragged someone out of a building to arrest them, by saying police 'raped' a man before arresting him (that doesnt sound right!)
one of many reasons Trump won.............and the thing is there is a double standard on PC ......one for the left and one for the right (not on the same level)

That and a different standard based on one's sex or race identity. PC itself is actually sexist and racist.
I heard a new word today but I checked and its not on the books yet.
Not sure what it means but here goes.
rapepologist
Seemed to be in the context of someone who apologizes knowingly or unknowingly for participating in rape and tries to explain it or excuse it. Derogatory ? Maybe....?
It also could have been used in the context of any man that tries to defend himself or another against the accusation of rape.
Its likely to be use more and the meaning may become more clear or it could just muddy up things like new words sometimes do.
3 : an act or instance of robbing or despoiling or carrying away a person by force
