Have you never heard of HS athletes getting scholarships for athletics? Those playoff games "COULD" have made a difference in a kid's future. maybe not. But it is possible. And yeah, I've seen a single game make that kind of a difference in a kid's life. |

Apparently you did something similar. You played a part in some prank, which means there was some level of planning that you took part in, some level of participation that you willingly involved yourself in.
The fact that you can't see that, and see the difference between your willing participation in some stupid prank, and the impulsive behavior of one player speaks volumes. Get a brain. |

You sound like the type that lives vicariously through high school athletes. You’re the weird guy at the game who isn’t related to anyone playing yet you’re oddly obsessed aren’t you? |

Don't like the idea that some dude's actions -or even alleged actions- can have consequences for you? Then find another job. |

But if we're talking about the 1-in-1,000 scenario, maybe the district's pulling this team out of the playoffs sends some message down the line. Maybe there's some kid out there in two years stewing on the sidelines about some call, telling his teammates that he's going to bury that ref, and maybe they think back to this situation, and understand that it impacts the entire team, and talk him off a ledge. Maybe that changes the course of that kid's life because he didn't make a catastrophic error in judgment. Maybe this teaches these kids to be more accountable for the actions of their teammates. I'm not saying I agree with the district's call. It's a tough one. But that's a pretty vicious attack on a ref and I'd rather they overpunish in a situation like this. |

HS football is almost religion down there. Can't really say I understand why the school is forcing the team out of their remaining games if the kid that blindsided the ref has been punished.
Back when I played they made the rest of us do extra conditioning when a kid on the team ****ed up by getting detention/suspension or when someone got a D or F. I can kind of understand that. This was a criminal act by a dumbass that just lost his mind. There's no lesson to be learned here by the rest of the players. |
