Just pointing out that nobody ran to the police, lawyered up and started a lawsuit.

This has been happening since sports started, it happens in other states, it happens in other countries.

but it mostly happens at Ws

Your obsession with “Ws” is unhealthy

IMO, the football fight is a nothingburger. It has been happening for eons.

But, the beat down at the Bethesda metro station was different. For one, it did not happen on school grounds. and two: that appears to be more of an assault by a bunch of thugs looking for trouble rather than rival football players getting into a fight probably over something that happened during the game.

First of all, being an athlete is a privilege, not a right.

Second, the purpose of athletics beyond physical well being is sportsmanship.

Third, students fighting is dangerous. Someone can get badly injured.

Students should not be fighting in school or in sports. However, fighting in sports can and should come with penalties such as expulsion from the team on the first offense.

Okay grandma.

How are you going to stop something that is part of every decade, every state, every country, every sport in the world. You literally just move on.

# RAISE is meaningless to stop the culture of fighting at MCPS athletics events.

I'm so relieved for once this didn't involve a W!

These are high school students. Fighting on a football field during a MCPS game is no different than fighting in a classroom. The behavior is totally unacceptable.

The athletics program should strive to instruct students on how to demonstrate good sportsmanship and how to keep your emotions checked. Given the behavior of coaches my children have had contact with multiple sports (including football), sometimes the model of behavior coaches exemplifies encourages bad behavior rather than dissuade it.

Not really. There are way more fights in the classrooms.

MCPS is gonna MCPS. More restorative justice will solve this.
