Flagrant foul--a long suspension deserved.

Thanks. How'd you do that again?

Oh ya, I've got an attempt to injure. See ya buddy.

Horrific.

Seeing it on video is bad enough, I hope I never, ever witness anything like that in person. Truly tragic.

I hope and pray he recovers.

The thing that caught my attention was the fact that the scoreboard said 2-0 and there was not even 2 minutes gone in the game...not even time to work up a sweat. Must of been some bad blood lingering from something.

Perhaps that could be upgraded?

Fouling from behind when a player is on the ground is one thing, a two-handed shove in the back of an airborne player is clearly non-basketball.

that his body became complete limp immediately when it hit the floor and his injury was undobtedly severe.

I'm just wondering if there wil be law suits and the like. I have no idea.

That's what I'm thinking.

Intentional foul at first, but if a stretcher is required, I'm chatting with my partner(s) about a change to flagrant.

By the way, why isn't the Peru player identified in the article?

No doubt! What else could we/they possibly be discussing as we wait for the medical assistance...

Found it in 15 seconds with a google search.

Right, but that really wasn't my point.

I believe the author either a) simply forget to mention that little detail, or b) intentionally kept his name out, "because he's a kid." At the risk of turning this thread into something else, we either have bad journalism, or an ethical question where I don't agree with the author's (or editor's) choice.

Many newspapers withhold names of minors if there could be a pending action. This student may or may not be in that category. I do not have a problem with it either way. If somebody wants to find out who it is, it is pretty simple to do. They did not censor his uniform number. Mole hill.

The Peru player's Facebook profile is not available.

To him, it is a mountain.
