OT: recent HS football attacks

[perseverare]

Event in Texas:
just watched an interview with the HS kids who double blindsided the ref.
They claim they were told to do it. The coach ordered the 'code red'
They were quiet type kids and one gets the impression they did not conjure the attack up on their own, nor act on their own incentive The coach's reason stated as : a/c bad calls and of course the ever claimed 'racial bs'
They also realuzed that they knew the difference between right/wrong.

Event in NJ:
Kid grabs the helmut off opposing player and bashes the kneeling kid in the head (11 stiches) - the sickening part of this one is the total bullshit from the kids Mom and excuse offered as defense! 'His hand got caught in the helmut and he was shaking it off! The vid shows an appearent violent deliberate motion.And after injuring the kid if by accident NO attempt to help him! BS! Mom, come on; we are not morons!

JMO:
If minor reaction or punishments continue then these things will continue. The 'ace in the hole' use of racial epitaph needs to be rebuffed as no reason to take matters into your own hands; there are proceedures to deal with that - the ole 2 wrongs argument! And these kids use trash talk as part of normal conversation, they are not thin skinned; but they apparently are undisciplined and do not fret consequences.

What would your proposed consequence/reaction be?

 

[perseverare]

offenses ought be charged as assualts; that is what they were. It certainly was not part of the sport of football.

Fair

Sal
did you watch the link?

can you believe the excuse put out by the NJ Mom?

 

[SALittleGiant513]

Yeah I saw that on the news yesterday that is insane. I have way more knowledge about the San Antonio situation obviously because that is all people are talking about here.

 

[perseverare]

you agree Mom is shurking her responsibility to teach responsibility and accountability here; if you cannot control your kids when juveniles then you sure are not going to do it when they are adults!
(paraphrasing something J Jackson said years ago at the DNC.)

Wonder if he'll be charged with a hate crime.

 

[SALittleGiant513]

I think even if you can control your kids when juveniles good luck doing it when they are adults. I love and respect my parents but as a grown as man I am going to do what I want. Bad parenting doesn't surprise me though, it happens all the time all over the country and it sucks for the kids because they end up paying for it in the end when they cant adjust to life as a normal human being.

Pretending you are serious, no he won't be nothing here suggests it was racially motivated.

Here's a crazy one....

"La Cañada says Salesian player used heat rub on its player's face"

Salazar said, "It was just a cheap shot by the other team. I didn't really know what was going on until the kid put his hand and rubbed IcyHot in my eyes."

Kalb said La Cañada filed a formal complaint with the Southern Section about "how the incident was handled on site. The refs did not investigate. I had a player who had been injured and harmed."
