This sporting life

 

Shades of Tonya Harding, only more public!




The guilty party is trying to make excuses.




If you believe that, you'll believe anything . . .

All I can say is, this is what happens when everyone is told that they're the "best".  When someone proves to be better than them, their reaction is to lash out in anger and jealousy, rather than accept that they've just been beaten.  That's my view of this, anyway.  In this case, "If you can't beat 'em, beat 'em up!"

Allegedly smacked her in the head?

Nice choice of end photo. 'Twas my thought exactly.

I know saying it will be taken as evidence that it's not true, but I honestly don't have a racist bone in my body. I served in the military for 21 years and some of my best shipmates were black, hispanic, asian and one particularly fearless Navajo indian (call him a "native american" and risk a punch in the nose).

But I am absolutely biased against certain cultures and this is a prime example of a culture that I have no use for. Considering that this is a local issue to me, it's not in the least surprising that the offender is from Portsmouth. Thug culture thrives there.

Prediction: The "solution" will be to start using plastic or foam batons rather than aluminum; because it's always the weapon that's to blame, not the thug that's using it.

Freshman football, 60 years ago… 0 wins, 11 losses, 1 tie. Dumb kids wanted to fight the winner(s) after every game. I was certainly no star linebacker, but even I knew, “If you can’t beat them on the field you probably can’t beat them behind the bleachers”.

That's assault and battery. There should be an arrest.

You can always tell someone is guilty when she switches to the passive voice. "She got hit" tells me everything I need to know.

Stupid, classless behavior. If this remains her pattern of behavior, she will likely not be a high achiever in life. Break the pattern, or the pattern will break you. Put another way, stupid hurts, and keeps on hurting, until you get smart.

So much for:

1. Sporstmanlike behaviour.

2. The English language.

Sigh.
