2 HS football players attack the referee

[actaeon277]

Or was it this???
Instead of investigating, the media will just make a thousand guesses.


An investigation by the Northside Independent School District resulted in the suspension of assistant coach Mack Breed for allegedly saying, "That guy needs to pay for cheating us," referring to the referee.

Coach was suspended for that? Did he say this specifically to the two players or generally, off the cuff? I've head coaches say that some officials needed their "***** kicked" more than once in my day.

I don't know.
Like I said, I think the media is just making a hundred guesses.

You charge and attack anyone, especially a man in a uniform that you KNOW is an authority, you suffer the consequences. Period. "I couldn't help it" is a nice excuse, but that does not remove responsibility. If the coach ordered them to do it, the coach is responsible also. PERIOD.

The players say the ref used racial slursCBS Sports ^

Flag on the play, BS violation, 15 yard penalty, 4 down.

Spearing a ref today, shooting a cop tomorrow.

Holy leap of imagination batman!

I dunno - it's a clear disregard for authority and civility and a belief that blatant physical violence is the solution to life's problems.


Change hats and shirts of the ref, replace the the football helmet with a bandanna...

Big trouble. Probably looking at expulsion and criminal charges. Football days are over at least for now.

There's ZERO kinship between a guy tackling a referee and a guy shooting at police officers. Zip.
If there is, there are plenty of Pee Wee football parents (or any other sport) that are potentially dangerous to police.

If your attitude is one of defiance toward authority, it will show in other ways.

I'd be careful at those games if I was you. If not because of the parents, then the eight year olds in the stands while their brother is on the field.

Defiance toward authority does not make one a cop killer.

Exactly! Most of the people on INGO exhibit defiance towards authority in some way or another!

Wait - why am I arguing this? Hookeye was the one that said it... how did I get sucked in?

 

[printcraft]

Defiance toward authority does not make one a cop killer.

True.

People that torture and kill animals do not always turn out to be serial killers either.

 

[pudly]

Defiance toward authority does not make one a cop killer.

True. Killing a cop makes you a cop killer. But assault of authority figures does not bode well for future behavior.

Replace the team with a gang
Replace the coach with a shot caller
Replace the school with the streets
Replace the parents with... no parents

You are correct. Almost indistinguishable.

Gotta' take exception to the idea that "most of the people on INGO exhibit defiance towards authority". I just think the few who feel such defiance do a lot of exhibiting. Kinda' like the old saying, "an empty wagon rattles the most".

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Why is this in "political discussion"?

Because some animals are more equal than others? Everybody else on the field can be hit. Stripes don't grant extra rights. (yeah, I know, kickers)

 

[HoughMade]

... how did I get sucked in?

Winning smile, witty conversation, lack of standards...
