CB West football season canceled amid hazing allegations
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | 10/23/2014 | Kathy Boccella and Chris Palmer

The Central Bucks School District said Thursday that it had canceled the remainder of the football season for Central Bucks West High School because of hazing by its players.

In a letter to parents, Superintendent David Weitzel said an investigation determined that rookies on the team had been required to grab the private parts of other players while fully clothed in front of the rest of the team. Most of the players took part in the pre-season initiation activities, which he called "offensive and disrespectful." Players who did not directly participate, but witnessed and failed to report the activities, were also guilty, the superintendent said.

Because the coaching staff had failed to "properly supervise activities, swift and firm action is absolutely necessary," he said in a statement.

In Cincinnati, Ohio, 8 boys soccer players at a Catholic high school were just suspended or expelled for shoving a tv remote up a freshman’s b***.

Big news in the papers and tv but effectively quieted down before all the ugly facts came to light.

I can’t believe it but after writing my post to you, I went to www.wlwt.com, a local tv station website and there was a new story.

Another Catholic high school in town suspended several football player students for attacking another freshman in the locker room. Beat the kid to the ground then each rubbed their naked b***s in the player’s face.

An expelling offense if you ask me. School refuses to discuss and players are all back on the team.

Schools have been promoting sexual perversion and are surprised at the outcome?

If you play high school sports in Pennsylvania, and you have to be told at this point that hazing that sounds like something Jerry Sandusky used to do for fun is a particularly bad idea, you’re really, really stupid.

On that Sayerville one I heard on the news on 104.3 fm NYC 2 days ago: “Though the team is 80% white all of those involved .”in committing the “sodomy” “are of color”.

A racial breakdown and calling it Sodomy on the air! I almost drove off the road. It would be fascinating to know the story of why this copy was written this way. I’d been hearing reports on this evil for days and heard NOTHING like this.

If you wouldn’t walk by if a priest did it to a teen, don’t walk away if another teen does it.

You know, there are people who actively and forcefully post on FR trying to rehabilitate Joe Paterno and Penn State by attacking the witnesses, investigators and prosecutors. And the victims.

High school and college athletics attracts some good people, but it attracts some real kooks as well. People who should know better.
