[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a different but related note ... Apparently there was near violence between the SJC and DeMatha football teams IN the parking lot AFTER the game at SJC last Saturday.   DCPD was summoned.  This is Exhibit B that sportsmanship, fair play, and the true merits of sport have been overshadowed at these and other local schools.   Exhibit A is the behavior complained about in this thread.        [/quote]

Violence is nothing new when it comes to sports at SJC.  Don't know if it's going on but the baseball team used to have hazing tradition where the upperclass players used to force new guys to do "fight club" in the locker room.  Not as bad as the movie, but it got pretty violent.  They would match a couple of the younger guys up and they would smack the crap out of each other surrounded by a bunch of screaming cheering players.  I think everyone went through it by the time they were on varsity.  I didn't think much of it at the time, but I guess it was pretty stupid.[/quote]

Ridiculous and disgraceful (I played baseball into college and for 20 yrs after)[/quote]
