quote:

The account claims that Grant was asked to go around the field as opposed to crossing the playing surface for its pregame entrance. Jefferson was conducting Senior night festivities.

Grant opted not to. Jefferson players took offense. The pregame altercation was the result.


The account insists that there was no intent to “disrespect the flag.” It was more a response to rivalry hate, fueled by Grant’s disregard for Jefferson tradition.

Grant probably views it in a different light. To this point, there has been no punishment handed down by the Oregon School Activities Association. A response is expected to come this week.

You have to be trolling or you know nothing about football.

He should have been tossed from the game. Even in pads that kid could have been hurt because he was not in game mindset or prepared to be hit. It’s how neck injuries happen.

I have never seen, at any level of football, a team make its pregame entrance by going around the field rather than "crossing the playing surface". What kind of excuse is that?

Let’s not sensationalize this. Yes he should have been penalized, but you can’t tell me from that 15 second video you believe it was an attack on the American flag.

The player did slow down and size up the 1 guy that just happened to be holding the American flag.

I agree that the banned for life, jailed, and assault charges are a bit much. But that player needs to sit for at least 1 game (they are 1-6, so not a big loss). And since the coaching staff refused to address it in the moment, the head coach needs to sit for at least 1 game longer than the player.

And banned for life and jailed? Get out of here. And I’m the biggest supporter of the flag.

It looks like two teams that are probably rivals with beef against each other having a pregame scuffle when one runs out the tunnel.


How about we charge and prosecute to what it really is? Assault and battery. Expel the moron from sports permanently.

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

An anti-American apologist. As is your icon, you are a lapdog for the SD, may your children transition. I guess we should be thankful the punk didn't have a knife on him.

This is exactly what happened. I know the mouth breathers hear "Portland" and "American Flag" and automatically think of west coast liberals. It was a cheap shot and it just happened that the guy had the flag.
Blacks don't normally attack the flag, that is more liberal/soy boy behavior.

If you want to make it something, make it a black vs white attack. Not dude vs. America.

The reason shite like this is metastizing thruout the country is because when shite like this began happening the father, or anyone, didn't run over and immediately pile drive the washbrained punk into the ground.

I just searched college football fights and these were the first 3 pictures that came up. Actually the LSU Florida pregame fight had about 2 pages worth but I didn’t feel the need to actually keep scrolling to find more pictures to prove that football players hopped up on adrenaline and testosterone do stupid shite.

I think this is where I am on it too. Just seemed like he teed up the first player he saw rather than targeting the flag. You can even tell he just wanted a cheap shot with how he hops away celebrating after the hit. And good on the kid that gets hit to hop up and charge after the dude too.

All in all, to me this seems like rivalry assholishness more than anything anti-American.


ETA: and obviously should've been flagged by the officiating crew.
