OT - Two "Disturbing Videos" from Yesterday

[huskymedic]

One laughable - one not so much.

High School Football Players Target, Light Up Poor Official [UPDATE]

Edit add:http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/...e-ISD-investigating-incident-with-6487775.php


Kansas State Band Formation Is NSFW [UPDATE]

 

[Doggie Style]

Those little punks need to be dismissed from the team period! It's going to be VERY interesting to see how this came about after an investigation is completed. I'm wondering if this situation could have been influenced by Coaches, parents, or they just came up with it on their own. Regardless, blatant disregard for an adult and authoritative figure by high school children is inexcusable they need to know the difference between right and wrong at this point regardless how it came about.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

What a cowardly chicken sheet thing to do. What tough guys.

 

[coachcap]

If the coaching staff instructed those kids to cause that mayhem, the conference or local equivalent of the CIAC need to show a spine & sanction that program.
If the school won't take action, those in charge at the conference level need to rain God's wrath down on that program. There is No justification for players assaulting game officials.

Not sure how it could be "misconceived"...

Those 2 kids should be expelled from school and blacklisted from any sort of recruiting (if they're even that good). If the coaches instructed them to do this, they should be fired immediately. Takes a real chump to take a cheap shot at a guy who is defenseless and has his back turned, or on the ground. What a couple of sh1tbags.

The second video: is it bad that I cracked up the entire time?? The only thing that would have made it better is if the "USS Enterprise" fired its torpedos at this space creature.

You'll enjoy this.

K-State Marching Band
"The chart below represents the drill from tonight’s show. There was absolutely no intent to display anything other than the Enterprise and the Jayhawk in battle. If I am guilty of anything it would be the inability to teach the drill in a manner that these young people could have succeeded. I do apologize for the misinterpretation and I assure you that I meant absolutely no disrespect or malice toward the University of Kansas."

Frank Tracz
Director of the K-State Marching Band

You'll enjoy this w/ the reported diagram.

HA! You're right...I love it! Would be funny if the UCMB did that to some of our rival mascots. The Eagle, Scarlet Knight and Orange d0uche could use something in their mouths.

I only watched the video. I saw it on the news this morning at 7AM. Didn't see/read the portion regarding the parents involvement

 

[CL82]

Those kids should not only be expelled, they should have criminal charges filed against them. Ugly incident as is the justification that was offered.

Players and students from John Jay have tweeted that the hit came after racial slurs were used by the targeted official. ​

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

When all else fails, claim racial slurs were made to excuse the behavior.

Given the idiot father's comments I'm not surprised that his kid acted like a little beatch.

 

[huskypantz]

Both kids should be kicked off the team and I would have no issues with assault charges going against them. If there was any coordination among the coaches, the involved parties should be removed from their positions and not allowed to coach again in the state.

 

[Rocket009]

Banned for life - there's no way these two should be allowed to play again.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Team should be suspended until they can prove the innocence of every other player. Playing is a privilege. Coaches should be dismissed regardless. They are responsible.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Everyone does realize this happens every single week during football season, correct?

And that it isn't limited to football?

No one here is naïve enough to believe that no team has ever had a crossing pattern or blitz screen in football, a "crossed" signal in baseball and a variety of shots in basketball, soccer, etc.

Players need to be held accountable, coaches need to be held accountable. Save the mock indignation for elsewhere.

Are you suggesting that we should ignore this because it's happened before?

Never saw anything quite like that... That was brutal.

I'd go the next step and say the team should be suspended for the rest of the season. Those two players could just as easily severely injured and killed that ref and the league needs to show zero tolerance for such behavior.

Mock indignation?

What are you talking about? Do you think that video was a simple crossing pattern gone awry?

I suspect you are not that closely involved in youth sports any more. Every single parent of kids of every youth league in Connecticut that I am aware of has to sign a form regarding the behavior of themselves and their children, and that form includes a statement regarding respect of officials. Mock indignation? Those kids pledged to respect the officials before ever taking the field.

The attack was premeditated with the intent to injure the referee, and the kids knew it because they started making excuses for their actions almost immediately. I would expect that their town youth sports leagues would be distancing themselves as quickly as possible from that excuse.

I hope that at the least those boys youth athletic career is over, forever, for every sport.

There has to be zero tolerance for attacking refs.

Seriously, what are you talking about?

 

[sammydabiz]

Not to the precision Ive seen on that video, but to a lesser extent, I've seen this happen on the field before. Not trying to excuse this ugly incident, but it's not as rare as one would think. Sometimes refs just get in the way (wink, wink)

[mauconnfan]

These kids should never play anywhere again, this is disgraceful and tells of their disrespect to their authorities. Criminal charges immediately.
