Has high school football always been as crazy as it has been so far this season—or are we just hearing about it more often now thanks to the Internet? In any case, on Friday night, two California high schools, Lakewood and Long Beach Millikan, squared off with a game featuring intense hits on both sides of the ball. Things then really escalated when a Millikan player ran up and kicked a helmetless Lakewood player at the end of a play. This then resulted in a scuffle between the Millikan players and possibly Victor Bates' (the kid who got kicked) family in the locker room after the game. Arrests are the next step for the people who attacked the players and charges will be pressed.
I'm honestly really glad that these people are going to get arrested, but the scuffle in the locker room shouldn't have happened in the first place. Kicking someone in the head is never a solution in football unless you're purposefully trying to injure an opponent, which is illegal in football. So the whole thing should've just never happened, and the Millikan player should not have vented his frustration in such a way to endanger other players.

Isn't it great that we don't have sports at Booker T?

It isn't just high school football players, it's professional players acting crazy too. I understand this is a hard and rough sport but why is there so much unnecessary violence.
ReplyDeleteMany sports I feel contain many athletes who can't accept defeat. I feel each team needs to be assigned to help the players to have a on-site psycholofists to help the players understand what's right and what's wrong and why sometimes things happen so let them be.
