Embarrassing for all parents of kids at these schools because many of you will say "oh my kid wasn't involved." Yeah right.
Nearly what, 5000 students between the two schools? Yes, most people's kids weren't involved. Math is hard.

It’s funny that we call a small post-game fight “violent” but not the whole 2 hour football game itself.

Signed - mom to a field hockey player who is expected to car-pool to take kids to away field hockey games. Or the kids drive themselves.
There is a bus to take kids back to their home school from most athletic events. I thought it was standard. My kid plays soccer FWIW.
Coaches have to request a bus. MCPS buses are available for all sports. Ask the coach to put in the request.

There are still police officers at football games.

+1. All these incidents aren't the schools'* faults. I am blaming the parents.
*it's not the school's fault but it is turning into their responsibility since the parents are proving they are doing a sh*tty job with regards to their teens.

I didn't read the article, but both principals sent a joint email talking about BCC students instigating and BCC students vandalizing the school bus. BCC started a riot during a WJ hockey game a few years ago too.
There is something about WJ that BCC kids hate and I honestly don't know what it is.

Yeah, but how about also promoting a more academic environment and less jock culture in high school? Most of the violence directly stems from this type of sports culture mentality. You never see this happening after a non-sports event.
LoL that's because no one goes to any non sporting events
That's silly, plenty of people go to the drama production, and I've never heard of a post-musical brawl downtown.
The only people who go to the plays are parents and the boyfriends of the actors.
You are wrong.

The only people who go to the football games are the slightly smart dummies who derive pleasure from watching other less smart dummies attempt to make inelastic collisions of piles of other dummies. Basically a human demolition derby without the exhaust fumes.
