A Virginia high school sprinter suffered a concussion and potential skull fracture when her competitor smashed her in the back of her head with a relay baton during their race.

Brookville High School junior Kaelen Tucker was the second leg runner for the 4×200 meter relay at the VHSL Class 3 State Indoor Championships at Liberty University on Friday.

Tucker – who had earned silver in the girl’s 55m dash earlier in the meet – was attempting to cut into lane one during a battle for second place in the front pack as she was rounding turn four.

I have a solution for this kind of behavior. Every last bit of this assaulting people with whom you disagree from EITHER SIDE would be brought to a screeching halt with actions I would take.

I was hated in high school for making them toe the line. Could do it again. Come and get some.

> IC Norcom [the school] was disqualified from the race for the student’s actions. <

Well, that’s nice. But why wasn’t the student immediately arrested for assault?

My fearless prediction: There will now be calls to make race batons out of cardboard or some such thing. Blame the object, not the person.

Wait until the trans girls start clubbing real girls if they fall behind. They want their trophy, they want it now!

Once you outlaw cardboard batons, Pringles cans will be next.

I would expect that the assailant felt ‘disrespected’ by her competitor, and so the attack was therefore clearly justified...

Arrest, incarcerate, ban from sports, and require restitution.

Students learn what you teach them.

I’m a retired high school teacher. And I could write an entire book about outrageous conduct by students where no one is really punished.

Attack a fellow student… nothing happens.
Attack a staff member… nothing happens.
Make terroristic threats… nothing happens.

So the lesson is clear: Do what you want, kids. There will be no consequences.

I was gonna write, that this is what trannies could be good for. Every womyn’s team should have a tranny goon that can go out and protect the franchise players. The enforcer can go in and beat down the other team’s offender.

This is a great example of why black men tend to gravitate to women of races other than black.

And yeah I agree. Blacks in general have hangup about respect......what they can’t get in their heads is respect has to be earned.
