I always knew there was a reason I never much cared for basketball.

Yikes. Other net sources say a pool cue was involved.

“the police have determined only three boys from the team were involved in the incident.”

So it’s a pretty good team overall, except for the rapists.

Where were the coaches??? They should be charged with a crime too, negligence or child endangerment at the least, because this happened when that kid was supposed to be under their supervision.

http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/30829424/3-ooltewah-basketball-players-dismissed-from-team-after-injuring-teammate

UPDATE: Gatlinburg, Tennessee police confirm three juveniles have been charged with aggravated rape and aggravated assault. They are being held in the Sevier County Juvenile Facility. A bond hearing is set for Wednesday, Dec. 30. The juveniles were members of the Ooltewah High School basketball team, and the victim is a freshman player. He was treated and released from UT Medical Center in Knoxville, after an eight-day stay. A family member tells Eyewitness News, “It was a horrific incident. His surgery went well, but he has a long road to recovery.” The family member says two other students were also assaulted, “but their injuries were not as serious.”

The three juveniles have been dismissed from the team, but county school officials say they will have no statement on punishment from the school district until after the holidays. The Ooltewah team continues to play in the Best of Preps classic, having played three games since the players were dismissed, with a home game scheduled for next week.

Rape culture!

Where are the white feminists on this?

Oh, this is gay rape? Well let’s laugh at the victim and just pretend this didn’t happen.

The coaches, chaperones and the rest of the team failed miserably in preventing a situation like this to happen. If the rest of the team had no idea the three that did this were dangerous and never said a word...maybe missing the rest of the tournament might give them something to think about next time something like this starts to look like it could happen again sometime during the rest of their lives. I can't believe they stayed to keep playing!

Betcha fifty cents the victim was the sole white guy in that photo. If so, prosecute as a hate crime.

They must have had to go out of their way to find black players for the Ooltewah team.
