The original post might be a tad bit misleading. This was not a one-on-one beating. This was, evidently, a five-on-one beating.

From the article:

The Winston-Salem Journal, citing multiple anonymous sources, reported that five Virginia State players were involved. Reaves said police were trying to identify the other Virginia State players.

reading between the lines, I sense the game was canceled to prevent further mishap from the misguided yoots.

When I was in high school, the coach (a science teacher) was a Grade A$$hole with a forever-losing team.

He never saw that connection.

Once he gave a halftime ‘pep’ talk berating the players. As a group they rose up and attacked him. He was lucky to escape with his life.

Winston-Salem and Virginia State fit into the “historically black college” classification....if there are any white dudes on the team its by mistake...

A little fight in the restroom? What are we turning into, a nation of pussies? Granted my HS coaches ... didn’t play in football in college ... would have discouraged this, but at practice we would be taught that an integral part of playing defensive line was not to hold and to punch them in the face.

What in the hell is going ON in this country??????????

We've got 35 million illegals running through our streets, the government has borrowed trillions from the Communist, they're monitoring and hacking your phone calls, and emails, the Pentagon is celebrating homo gay day, and you're all concerned about some fight in a college locker room?
