Heave Ho - Part II

Nope, I'm not kidding. I hope I'm not the common denominator.

Wildcard round in a summer league - home team getting thumped 28-0. Late in 4th.

After a play, home team player goes bezerk and jumps a guy, punches him, and pushes him down and stomps on him. He's been banned for live. If I was the other guy, I'd press charges.

Not my best weekend.

At least the league is doing the right thing and banning the player.

Funny thing was the league Commissioner was at the game.

We kept the game in check right up until that point. I thin there's personal issues with the player. The commish made the decision right then and there that he's banned for life. No hearing, nothing.

Commish asked the RIC to thank the officials because he feels that the 6 on the game were of top quality to manage such incidents. That was nice to hear.

What was the age of this player? If he was over 14 or 15, the police should have been brought in.

The player is 18.

The authorities were called to the field. 4 cars showed up with 8 cops. Each one of them were young men (20s, early 30s) and all cut. It was funny to see them all walk into the stadium.
