Nine people have been arrested after up to 50 teenagers and adults started a huge brawl after a high school basketball game. The violent scenes unfolded at Whitehaven High School in Memphis, Tennessee, with people punching and kicking each other before police officers swarmed the auditorium on Friday night. Two juveniles - aged 15 and 17 - were arrested along with seven other adult men following the game which saw the home team lose to local rivals Hamilton 76-54.

Don’t even bother showing the pics.

Why waste bits on certainty?

[Texas Eagle]

Let me guess. Most if not all the participants resembled Sarah Palin’s children.

Was there a ‘controversial’ call by a ref?................................

White haven is where Graceland is located. Anyone know the history of the area? Didn’t look too nice when I went to see the King.

The violent scenes unfolded at Whitehaven High School

Irony? I hope not.

Whitehaven High School

White-haven? Sounds racist and exclusionary.

Let me guess Whitehaven is not a haven for whites?

The only surprise is no guns were pulled !! ..no one killed.

...yet.

A big elephant in the room is that young black men are much more prone to violence than others. It is considered racist to talk about. But it does seem to be part of a pattern in which these brawls involve blacks much more than other ethnicities.

Tennessee?

Like St. Louis, I use to think of how American and traditional they were....

Then ya see the ugly reality in today’s America....

[Texicanus]

Used to be a great area in the 50’s and 60’s. Downhill since the 70’s. The first indoor mall in Memphis opened there around 1966. I remember traveling there from across town with my family. In the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s used to be a great business area, not sure about now. Haven’t been down in that part of town in a long long time. Lived in Memphis 50+ years and never been to Graceland. Love “The King” though.

Refs should institute a moratorium on calling fouls.

[Nervous Tick]

Words can't express how DISAPPOINTED I am in that little rascal Buckwheat. He wuz raised better!

[Nervous Tick]

>> Refs should institute a moratorium on calling fouls.

Only on black player though. It seems that a hugely disproportionate number of fouls are called on Black players! It’s true even in professional roundball!

The school board should be required to propose fouls on black players, and the board’s recommendation should be ratified by a majority vote of the fans before any action is taken by the refs.

We used to drive down to that mall back when I was in high school. One day, my car was broken into, and they stole a (used) hair brush, and an old coat that needed to be sent to the cleaners. Writing on the wall, I never went back.
