Should catch an assault charge. You can’t just run someone the frick over outside of a game. Sucker punch on a defenseless person.

I am not.

I could very much be wrong.

But I am certainly not being dishonest.

Should’ve been 15 yard penalty to start the game and the player should have been suspended for that game because it was blindside hit and not the normal scuffles that sometimes occur pregame with no suspensions.

Should also be an offsides penalty for the handful of usual suspects who feel moved to politicize everything.


NFHS rules don't dq for a blindside hit, targeting or personal foul unless it was flagrant. and No encroachment in pregame... DQ for flangrant hit move on


sad part is none of his team mates had his back

That chart shows Jefferson high as 83% minority… NO… it’s 17% minority !

I just think the plausibility of that demographic feeling "disrespected" by them running on the field during their pregame stuff is far more likely than him being so angered by the sight of the American flag

It appears that Portland squeezes most of their minority students into the much smaller Jefferson High.


Might be the demographics in the area of each school is very different. Sure is a big discrepancy in enrollment sizes for two inner city schools.

Let’s not sensationalize this.


After more information came out it looks like you went out of your way to excuse it. Can ask why?

Can you please show me where I excused any of it? Also, what information are we talking about? The random Instagram account that mentioned the flag?

I just said it was ridiculous to say he should be jailed over it. It was sensationalized by saying Portland and American flag just to rile up a crowd. This had absolutely nothing to do with flag. He would have done it regardless of what flag he did or didn’t have.

These two schools share a boundary and are 2 miles away from each other. It was also Jefferson’s senior night. They proceeded got their teeth kicked in.

Get this. The School is called the "Jefferson High School Democrats".

I'm telling you. Democrats are the scum of the Earth. Some are just too damn dumb to know it.

Yea a pregame fight has NEVER happened before in the history of football.



I can't say I've ever seen a cheap shot in a pregame like that.

What's your motivation for defending this? Black? Anti-American? Democrat?

Just trying to understand what's driving you.

Yes he should have been penalized,

That was a battery and he should be in jail. That was completely illegal and outside the confines of the game

But he picked the American flag guy…out of several dozen targets, even though the guy behind him was the first to brush his teeth that morning.
