High school basketball players beaten for 'Tebowing'

The rivalry between two South Carolina high schools boiled over after a basketball match, with two fans of the victorious side reportedly beaten up by opposition supporters for "Tebowing."

The Wando High School pair were attacked after their school had inflicted a 20-point defeat on West Ashley High in Charleston, during which they had copied the Denver Broncos quarterback's iconic prayer pose, The Post and Courier reported Saturday.

They were punched and kicked in a parking lot, to the point that one was left vomiting from being hit repeatedly in the stomach.

Lara Isaac, whose 17-year-old son was one of the victims, said the attack was a reprisal for the pair "Tebowing."

"They were scared for their lives," she said. "No one was manning the exits to make sure this wouldn't happen. The kids who did this apparently knew that."

Every single PBR performance (Professional Bull Riding) at least one sometimes more of the riders kneels in prayer in the arena. I can just see a gang of thugs trying to beat one of those guys up.

WE ALL KNOW THAT WE WILL BE PERSECUTED IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO THE LEVEL AT WHICH WE WITNESS FOR HIM.

And if the beaten were muslim, it would be a racist hate crime!

My gut tells me that this Christian persecution stuff is soon going to backfire on the haters in a big way. We Christians are big believers in the 2nd amendment and the Left knows it.

Couldn’t have anything to do with doing it DURING a 20 point beat down? Kind of showboaty and against the spirit of the move.

[ReneeLynn]

My gut tells me there’s more to the story.

[Venturer]

My gut tells me Leroy and Tyrone are involved.

[Roy Baty]

Showboaty? How would you like T.O.’s endzone dance DURING a 20 point beat down? Tebowing is not in your face IMHO.

Depends on when and how it’s done. Remember this is basketball not football, there isn’t a large stoppage of play after a score, there’s a short stoppage. If you’re doing anything more than a fist pump and a high five or two it showboating.

Could be Antwan too. Who know?

[Eldon Tyrell]

Did you see where the teams will meet again in a few weeks?

WTF?

The attackers should be forced to forfeit the game. To go with their suspensions, and criminal charges.

These weren’t rough fould during the course of the game - they aren’t protected. There is no excuse.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Tebowing never hurt anyone. It’s just more proof that public schools are beyond hope.
