Kid has a killer mullet

Why even give these kids the pub? They aren't the victims here. The ref they blatantly blindsided is, but you hear nothing about him.

this whole episode is so disappointing and disgusting, but people taking sports too far is rampant. maybe shining a light on it helps...probably not.

All they did was blame others for what they did. Blame the coach, blame the ref. For 2 kids that profess to be smart students
they sure are stupid. Neither showed any remorse except that they are in trouble for their stupidity.

totally agree! if one of my hs coaches told me to do such an act, i would have looked at him like he was crazy!!!

i don't care what the ref MIGHT have said or done, it doesn't excuse what these two boys did!

Throw them out of school, charge them with assult and let them pkay

Charge those punks with aggravated assault (felony) using a FB helmet to spear the ref.

The entire ordeal is absurd. The coach, if he in fact did tell them to do it should be charged. One kid was spoken of as being an honor student - whatever that is these days and I work in schools and now of course he is worried about being an engineer. The entire interview was deflecting their responsibility in all of this - it was the assistant coach, it was the racial slur, I pulled up, yea you could see me as I am thinking this is not a good thing to do. I regret it now. Right. I don't buy that they BOTH heard the so call racial slurs. I coached and was around many officials over the years and while I would never say never, the rest of the crew would step in and tell the guy to shut up. The official is from California, good grief it isn't like he is from an singularly racial state. And to hear something in the middle of a game and pinpoint who said what and when - not buying it. Take the worst case and say he did say those things - OK that is good reason to attempt to break someone's back and harm them for life? These are not choir boys here so why make them out to be that?

Does this qualify as a hate crime?
